ArcGIS Enterprise Builder 11.4 system requirements

ArcGIS Enterprise Builder deploys ArcGIS Enterprise on a single machine on premises. The system and hardware requirements required to run ArcGIS Enterprise Builder are listed below.

Note:

As of ArcGIS Enterprise 11.4, ArcGIS License Manager is no longer required to enable named user licensing for ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Pro extensions, ArcGIS Drone2Map, and ArcGIS AllSource.

Before you implement or upgrade an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment using ArcGIS Enterprise Builder, review the deprecation notices on the Esri support site to determine whether your hardware and software components are still compatible with the current release of ArcGIS Enterprise Builder. Also review all current system requirements of the individual product components. You can access this information from the ArcGIS Enterprise Installation Guides documentation.

Note:

ArcGIS Enterprise components require the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015–2022 Redistributable (x64) minimum version 14.38.33130. Obtain the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015–2022 file from the Microsoft site.

If the Visual C++ 2015 - 2022 Redistributable is not already installed, running the ArcGIS Enterprise Builder setup.exe will install it for you. However, running the ArcGIS Enterprise Builder setup.msi directly will not install the redistributable. If the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 - 2022 Redistributable (x64) is not already installed, running the setup.msi will fail to run ArcGIS Enterprise Builder.

Prerequisites

The following prerequisites must be installed on the machine where ArcGIS Web Adaptor (IIS) will be installed:

Note:

You must install the ASP.NET Core Runtime - Windows Hosting Bundle, which includes the .NET Runtime and IIS support.

Caution:

If you installed the ASP.NET Core Runtime - Windows Hosting Bundle before enabling IIS and the required components, you must repair the bundle installation using the bundle installer.

Microsoft Windows operating system requirements

The following 64-bit operating systems satisfy the minimum operating system requirements.

Supported operating systemLatest update or service pack tested

Windows Server 2022 Standard and Datacenter

September 2024 update

Windows Server 2019 Standard and Datacenter

September 2024 update

Windows Server 2016 Standard and Datacenter

September 2024 update

Development environments

Supported operating systemLatest update or service pack tested

Windows 11 Pro and Enterprise

September 2024 update

Note:

  • Prior and future updates or service packs for these operating system versions are supported unless otherwise stated. The operating system version and updates must also be supported by the operating system provider.
  • ArcGIS is only supported on 64-bit CPUs with x86-64 architecture.
  • The Desktop Experience option is required on all versions of Windows Server.
  • Windows 11 is supported for basic testing and application development use only.
  • 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 Microsoft Windows allows you to use the underscore in a machine name, it can cause problems when you interact with other servers and platforms. For this reason, the installation will not proceed on servers that have an underscore in the host name.
  • You cannot install on domain controllers. Installing on a domain controller may adversely affect functionality.

Disk space requirements

ArcGIS Enterprise Builder (Windows) requires 20 GB of free disk space on the system drive (often the C: drive), where setup files are staged and log files are written. Additionally, the builder requires a minimum of 45 GB of free disk space on the installation drive, which you will specify during setup. This disk space is necessary for completing the initial installation of components and for the storage of data, logs, and configuration files as your base deployment expands.

Note:

Most users need more than 45 GB of space on their installation drive. A production system should have 90 GB or more of free disk space on each machine in the deployment.

Memory requirements

It is recommended that you have at least 32 GB of available RAM to install ArcGIS Enterprise Builder.

Note:

If you will publish hosted scene layers and hosted 3D tiles layers, a minimum of 48 GB of available RAM is recommended. You must run the changedbproperties utility to increase the heap size for the object store to at least 16000 MB.

Firewall settings

The components in a base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment communicate on specific ports. You must open these ports on your firewall before installing the software.

ArcGIS Web Adaptor communicates over ports 80 and 443. See the following for information about the ports used by each additional component that is installed using ArcGIS Enterprise Builder:

Trusted certificates

ArcGIS Enterprise deployments require HTTPS to be enabled on the machine where the base deployment is installed. For details, review steps to enable HTTPS on your web server.

If your deployment's web server is IIS, learn how to use a sample script to create a domain certificate.

Supported web browsers

The ArcGIS Enterprise Configuration Wizard supports the following web browsers:

  • Google Chrome version 122 and later
  • Microsoft Edge version 122 and later
  • Mozilla Firefox version 125 and later
  • Mozilla Firefox version 115 (ESR)
  • Safari version 16 and later

Supported virtualization environments and cloud platforms

Virtualization and cloud environment support is the same for all components of a base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment. See ArcGIS Enterprise on cloud platforms and Supported virtualization environments in the ArcGIS Enterprise system requirements for details.

Coordinate system files

You may require additional coordinate system files on the hosting server and portal machines. See Coordinate system requirements for more information.
