A GIS administrator is analyzing the usage statistics of ArcGIS Enterprise. The administrator needs to pull tabular statistics on various groups and users about the type of content that they produce and consume.
Which action should the administrator perform?
- A . Run usage reports in Portal for ArcGIS to determine the effect on the organization.
- B . Open ArcGIS Server statistics to create a report for commonly used items.
- C . Use ArcGIS Monitor to capture desired information over a period of time in a report.
An organization is implementing a disaster recovery strategy for an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment for custom cached basemaps.
Which action should the organization perform?
- A . Run the webgisdr disaster recovery utility tool
- B . Make backup copies of all cache folder directories
- C . Use the ArcGIS Data Store backup utility
B
Explanation:
Custom cached basemaps are stored as tile cache files on disk and are not included in backups created by the webgisdr tool or the ArcGIS Data Store backup utility. Therefore, to ensure these basemaps can be restored in the event of a disaster, it’s essential to manually back up the cache directories where these tiles are stored. This involves copying the cache folders to a secure backup location and ensuring they are kept in sync with any updates made to the basemaps.
The webgisdr tool (Option A) is used for backing up and restoring the ArcGIS Enterprise configuration and content but does not include custom tile caches. The ArcGIS Data Store backup utility (Option C) is used for backing up hosted feature layers and other data managed by the ArcGIS Data Store, not custom cached basemaps.

A GIS administrator must restore an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment from a backup file previously created by the webgisdr utility.
Which utility should the administrator run first?
- A . webgisdr
- B . restoredatastore
- C . restore
A
Explanation:
The webgisdr utility is the official tool used to both back up and restore ArcGIS Enterprise deployments. When restoring a backup, this tool ensures all components―Portal for ArcGIS, ArcGIS Server (federated), ArcGIS Data Store, and associated configurations―are restored in the correct sequence and with integrity.
The utility reads from a configuration file that defines the backup location, type, and parameters. webgisdr orchestrates the entire restoration process automatically. Running restoredatastore (Option
B) individually is not required and may only restore part of the deployment, such as the relational store. Restore (Option C) is not a valid utility for ArcGIS Enterprise.

A GIS administrator is architecting a new ArcGIS Enterprise deployment. The organization has grown and evolved since the initial deployment. The organization is having difficulty meeting the existing Service Level Agreement.
Recently, the team rolled out a series of web tools that are used in various applications throughout the organization. In the existing deployment, users report poor performance when the web tools are used.
Which action should the GIS administrator perform?
- A . Configure additional ArcGIS Server machines within the existing ArcGIS Server site
- B . Dedicate an ArcGIS Server site for analysis to use workload separation
- C . Install an additional ArcGIS Enterprise deployment for analysis workflows
B
Explanation:
Workload separation is a best practice in ArcGIS Enterprise architecture. By dedicating a separate ArcGIS Server site for analysis tasks, such as geoprocessing services used in web tools, system resources can be managed more effectively, and performance can be improved. This configuration avoids overloading a single site and ensures that interactive web applications are not affected by resource-intensive analysis tools.
Adding more machines to the same site (Option A) does not isolate workloads and may still result in contention. Installing an entirely new ArcGIS Enterprise deployment (Option C) increases complexity and administration effort unnecessarily. The recommended solution is to implement a dedicated ArcGIS Server site for analysis as part of a federated multi-site deployment.

An ArcGIS administrator executes a script to silently upgrade all components of ArcGIS Enterprise version 10.6.1 to version 10.9.1. The upgrade completes without logging any errors.
When the administrator logs in, the following message appears: "Members in your organization were assigned the Standard (Temporary) or Lite (Temporary) user types. No users can log in to the Portal."
What is causing these issues?
- A . The organization has level 2 members and the new license file used for the upgrade now has more
than one compatible user type. - B . The portal has no internet access, and the Software Authorization Wizard could not connect to Esri to validate the new license file.
- C . The Portal for ArcGIS upgrade process requires a restart of the Portal for ArcGIS service when adding additional user types.
A
Explanation:
During the upgrade from ArcGIS Enterprise 10.6.1 to 10.9.1, user type licensing is enforced. If the new license file includes more than one compatible user type (e.g., Creator and GIS Professional), existing members without a specified user type may be assigned temporary user types like "Standard (Temporary)" or "Lite (Temporary)." These temporary assignments prevent users from logging in until valid user types are manually assigned.
This issue is not related to internet access (Option B) or the need to restart services (Option C). Reference Source: ArcGIS Enterprise documentation on user type licensing during upgrades
An organization expects a large influx of users who use the standard analysis tools in the portal Map Viewer. The organization is concerned with the hosting server’s available resources.
Which system resource should be closely monitored?
- A . Disk activity
- B . Network utilization
- C . CPU utilization
C
Explanation:
When users perform standard analysis tasks in the portal Map Viewer, the hosting server executes geoprocessing operations that are computationally intensive. These operations require significant CPU resources. Monitoring CPU utilization helps ensure that the server can handle the increased load without performance degradation.
While disk activity and network utilization are important, they are less directly impacted by standard analysis tasks compared to CPU usage. Therefore, CPU utilization is the primary resource to monitor in this scenario.

A GIS analyst publishes a 3D scene from ArcGIS Pro to ArcGIS Enterprise to create a hosted 3D scene layer.
Which data store hosts the data for the 3D scene layer?
- A . Tile cache
- B . Relational
- C . Raster
A
Explanation:
Hosted 3D scene layers are stored in the tile cache data store, which is optimized for storing and serving cached 3D content, such as buildings and elevation surfaces. This data store supports scene layers published from ArcGIS Pro and allows for efficient rendering in 3D web scenes within the portal.
The relational data store is used for feature layers and structured tabular data. The raster data store supports large raster datasets for imagery layers. Neither is appropriate for 3D scene layer content. Thus, for hosted 3D scenes, the correct data store is the tile cache.

A GIS administrator is installing Portal for ArcGIS and ArcGIS Server on separate machines. They need services to run continuously and comply with enterprise password policies.
Which account should be used to deploy the software?
- A . A GIS administrator account
- B . A specific group-managed service account
- C . Create local accounts for every machine being used
- D . Windows built-in account with local admin privileges
B
Explanation:
For multi-machine deployments, a Group Managed Service Account (gMSA) is the best option. It supports running services across multiple servers without requiring manual password updates, making it ideal for high-availability and enterprise security compliance.
From Esri’s deployment guidance:
“Use a group managed service account (gMSA) when installing ArcGIS Enterprise on multiple machines. gMSAs allow centralized password management and seamless cross-machine authentication.”
Option A could lead to password expiration issues.
Option C lacks centralized management and complicates maintenance.

An organization has an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment but does not have access to ArcGIS Online. The GIS administrator wants to create a web page that is easy to navigate by non-GIS users but allows these users to interact with, download, and create apps from data.
Which option should the GIS administrator use?
- A . ArcGIS Hub
- B . ArcGIS Enterprise Sites
- C . ArcGIS Experience Builder
B
Explanation:
ArcGIS Enterprise Sites is a capability within ArcGIS Enterprise that enables organizations to create tailored web pages for sharing data and content. These sites are designed to be user-friendly for non-GIS users, allowing them to interact with, download, and create applications from the organization’s data. Since the organization does not have access to ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Enterprise Sites provides the necessary functionality within their existing deployment.
ArcGIS Hub (Option A) is a separate product that requires ArcGIS Online. ArcGIS Experience Builder (Option C) is a tool for creating web applications but does not provide the comprehensive site-building capabilities needed for this scenario.

A small organization has an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment where all components are installed on one virtual server hosted on Microsoft Azure. Each deployment component was initially installed manually. The organization wants to upgrade its deployment to the most recent version in the most efficient way.
Which action should the organization perform?
- A . Manually upgrade each ArcGIS Enterprise component
- B . Upgrade the entire deployment with ArcGIS Enterprise Builder
- C . Run the ArcGIS Enterprise Cloud Builder for Microsoft Azure tool
A
Explanation:
For ArcGIS Enterprise deployments on Microsoft Azure that were initially installed manually, the recommended approach for upgrading is to manually upgrade each component. This involves downloading the latest installers for each component (Portal for ArcGIS, ArcGIS Server, ArcGIS Data Store, etc.) and following the standard upgrade procedures for each. This method ensures that each component is properly updated and configured according to the organization’s specific setup.
Using ArcGIS Enterprise Builder (Option B) is intended for new installations and is not suitable for upgrading existing deployments. ArcGIS Enterprise Cloud Builder for Microsoft Azure (Option C) is designed for deployments that were originally created using Cloud Builder; it cannot be used to upgrade deployments that were installed manually.
