ArcGIS Enterprise, the next evolution of the ArcGIS Server product line, has a flexible deployment model allowing for use completely on-premises, in the cloud, or a combination of the two. The ArcGIS Enterprise Builder product includes the following software components that are designed to work together:
- ArcGIS Server
- Portal for ArcGIS
- ArcGIS Data Store
- ArcGIS Web Adaptor
ArcGIS Image Server, ArcGIS GeoEvent Server, ArcGIS GeoAnalytics Server, and Esri Business Analyst Server are specialized licensing roles for ArcGIS Server. See What is ArcGIS Enterprise in the ArcGIS Server help for more information.
The system and hardware requirements required to run ArcGIS Enterprise Builder are listed below. For information about earlier versions, see Esri Support. If your Portal for ArcGIS organization will use a premium app, such as ArcGIS Pro or Drone2Map for ArcGIS, you will also need ArcGIS License Manager 2018.0 to configure your premium app licenses to specify which members can use the software. See the Portal for ArcGIS Administrator Guide, License Manager Reference Guide, and the License Manager system requirements for more information.
It's recommended that you review the deprecation notice to determine if your hardware and software components are still compatible with version 10.6.1, and to review all current system requirements of the individual products at ArcGIS Enterprise Installation Guides documentation.
Note:
ArcGIS Server requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributables (x86 and x64). If the Visual C++ 2017 Redistributables are not already installed, running setup.exe will install them before setup.msi is launched. Setup.msi will not install if the Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributables (x86 and x64) are not already installed.
Operating system requirements
The following 64-bit operating systems satisfy the minimum operating system requirements. Support is not provided for 32-bit operating systems; the setup will only proceed if the operating system is 64 bit.
Machines with an underscore (_) in their names are not supported. Several widely used Internet host name specifications have designated the underscore character as nonstandard. Although Windows allows you to use the underscore in a machine name, it can still cause problems when you interact with other servers and platforms. For this reason, ArcGIS Enterprise will not install on servers that have an underscore in the host name.
| Supported operating systems | Latest update or service pack tested |
|---|---|
Windows Server 2019 Standard and Datacenter (64 bit [EM64T]) | Nov 2018 Release |
Windows Server 2016 Standard and Datacenter (64 bit [EM64T]) | Version 1607 with May 8, 2018 update |
Windows 2012 R2 Standard and Datacenter (64 bit [EM64T]) | May 8, 2018 update |
Windows Server 2012 Standard and Datacenter (64 bit [EM64T]) | May 8, 2018 update |
Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, Enterprise, and Datacenter (64 bit [EM64T]) | SP1 with May 8, 2018 update |
Prior and future updates or service packs on these operating systems are supported unless otherwise stated. The operating system version and updates must also be supported by the operating system provider.
Note:
Windows 10 and 8.1 are supported for basic testing and application development use only. They are not recommended for deployment in a production environment. Windows 7 is no longer supported starting at ArcGIS 10.6.1.
Caution:
January 2018 security updates from Microsoft have caused geoprocessing services to crash when ArcGIS Server is running on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7. Esri released a patch for each release of ArcGIS Server 10.2.1 and later to resolve this bug. While these operating systems are still supported, if your ArcGIS Enterprise deployment is running on either of these operating systems, apply the ArcGIS Server Geoprocessing Service Startup Patch, which you can download from Esri Technical Support.
| Supported operating systems | Latest update or service pack tested |
|---|---|
Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise (64 bit [EM64T]) | Version 1803 with May 8, 2018 update |
Windows 8.1 Pro and Enterprise (64 bit [EM64T]) | May 8, 2018 |
Windows 7 Ultimate, Professional, and Enterprise (64 bit [EM64T]) | SP1 with May 8, 2018 update |
Caution:
Windows 7 is not supported for upgrades of an existing ArcGIS Enterprise deployment using the builder. First-time installation of ArcGIS Enterprise on a machine running Windows 7 is still supported by the builder.
Legacy:
Windows 8 is no longer supported by Microsoft. Please upgrade to Windows 8.1 or higher.
Hardware requirements
Disk space requirements
ArcGIS Enterprise Builder requires a minimum of 20 GB of available disk space, in which 5 GB of this total space must be available on the system drive.
Memory Requirements
It is strongly recommended to have at least 16GB of memory to install ArcGIS Enterprise Builder.
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 support
ArcGIS Web Adaptor requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or later in order to be installed. If your operating system includes Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5, make sure it's enabled using Windows Features. If your operating system does not include Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5, you can download it from the installation media and enable it using Windows Features.
