Esri announces the Portal for ArcGIS Validation and Repair tool. The Portal for ArcGIS Validation and Repair tool must be run on all 11.1, 10.9.1 and 10.8.1 machines with Portal for ArcGIS installed. The Portal for ArcGIS Validation and Repair tool is specifically for deployments on Windows.
The tool will validate your deployment and determine if the defective Portal for ArcGIS Enterprise Sites Security Patch is installed. If the defective patch is detected, you will be directed to use the tool to repair the deployment. The repair will remove the defective patch and all other Portal for ArcGIS patches on the deployment. After completing the repair, Portal for ArcGIS patches will need to be reapplied either through the ArcGIS Enterprise Patch Notification tool or by downloading patches available from Esri.
Esri recommends scheduling the repair, as well as the reinstallation of patches, during a planned maintenance timeframe. This is because the Enterprise portal will be inaccessible while the repair and patch reinstallation take place, which can be for several hours. The time needed for repair depends on the number of patches installed as well as hardware and machine resources. Note that repair time will be significantly longer for ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.1 deployments than other versions. The Portal for ArcGIS Validation and Repair tool reports a progress status as each patch is removed. If the tool must be terminated during the repair, it is possible to re-run the tool and resume the repair, but only after the machine has been restarted. The tool creates a log file and details on how to use the log are found in the Additional details section.
All Portal for ArcGIS patches released as of December 2023 will have a prerequisite requiring that the Portal for ArcGIS Validation and Repair tool is run successfully. Only following the successful validation of a deployment will it be possible to install new Portal for ArcGIS patches. Therefore, you will need to run the Portal for ArcGIS Validation and Repair tool prior to installing any Portal for ArcGIS patches released as of December 2023.
March 21, 2024: Portal for ArcGIS Validation and Repair tool is now available for version 10.8.1. Refer to this Technical Support page for information about these bugs and Esri's planned response.
March 21, 2024: A new setup is now available for the Portal for ArcGIS 10.9.1 Validation and Repair tool. This new version of the tool includes resolutions for a possible upgrade failure and issues running the tool with no available disk space. This version also enhances tool resiliency when it is terminated during a repair and provides more informative logging. There is no need to run this new tool if you already used the previous version of the tool to successfully validate your Enterprise portal.
The new setup replaces the previous Portal for ArcGIS 10.9.1 Validation and Repair tool. When shown as available in the ArcGIS Enterprise Patch Notification tool, it is listed as Portal for ArcGIS 10.9.1 Validation and Repair (without the B suffix) with a release date of March 21, 2024; once installed, it is listed as Portal for ArcGIS Validation and Repair B. Note that the B version of the tool will run overtop of the previous version; there is no need to uninstall the previous version prior to running the new setup.
February 12, 2024: Portal for ArcGIS Validation and Repair tool is now available for version 10.9.1. Refer to this Technical Support page for information about these bugs and Esri's planned response.
December 12, 2023: Portal for ArcGIS Validation and Repair tool is currently only available for version 11.1 Refer to this Technical Support page for information about these bugs and Esri's planned response.
The ArcGIS product listed in the table must be installed on your system before you can run this tool. Each tool setup is specific to the ArcGIS product in the list. To determine which products are installed on your system, please see the How to identify which ArcGIS products are installed section.
Step 3. The Portal for ArcGIS Validation and Repair tool must be downloaded and executed individually. It will not execute when using the 'Install All Patches' option. Attempting to use the 'Install All Patches' option to run the Portal for ArcGIS Validation and Repair tool will result in all patches released as of December 2023 failing to install, and each will display 'ERROR' in the Status column.
Once it is downloaded and executed individually and has successfully validated a portal, the Portal for ArcGIS Validation and Repair tool appears in the Installed Patches section of the ArcGIS Enterprise Patch Notification Tool.
The tool creates a log file in your Temp directory each time it is run. The latest log file is named with the full tool name, including the version number. For example, the latest log file on a version 11.1 portal is named PortalforArcGIS111ValidationandRepair.log.
To locate the Temp folder, type the following line at a command prompt: cd %temp%
I ran into this weird issue with one of my users. Microsoft Outlook Inbox Repair Tool keeps popping up every time she starts Outlook, even after the repair is done, the Outlook still won't start. At this point, I just want to suppress it.
We are happy to announce a new version of the tool that encompasses support for all versions of the .NET Framework from 3.5 SP1 to 4.5.1. This update includes the support for running the tool in unattended modes (quiet/passive) and some additional fixes for new scenarios that were not previously included.
This will run the tool in quiet mode, apply fixes/repairs for supported .NET Framework versions (excluding in box versions), collect logs in %temp% folder and send usage data to Microsoft.
What this means is that we cannot repair the .NET Framework because the required Windows Installer database (MSI) is missing. Another obvious thing would be to try downloading and installing the .NETFramework 4.0 Client again. However, it would result in the same error. Here is what we find in the log file:
The Remove tool ( ) uses intelligent technology to remove unwanted objects when a user brushes over them and automatically fills in the background while preserving the integrity of objects and depth in complex and varied backgrounds. This feature is particularly powerful when removing larger objects while respecting boundaries between objects.
In case you face any issues with the Remove tool, go to Preferences > Image Processing > Remove Tool Processing and select More Stable to increase stability. To learn more, see Preferences in Photoshop.
The Remove tool requires some components to be downloaded from Adobe servers. The installation of these components is automatically triggered after the installation of Photoshop in the Creative Cloud Desktop. When it's complete, you'll see Added checked for Remove tool components by selecting the three dots next to the Open button for Photoshop and then selecting Add-ons.
When you select the Remove tool, it may display this dialog to indicate that the download is in progress. The components need to be downloaded only once. Don't cancel the download and select Go back to previous tool.
It works similarly to the Healing Brush: it paints with sampled pixels from an image or pattern and matches the texture, lighting, transparency, and shading of the sampled pixels to the pixels being healed.
Use the Healing Brush tool ( ) to correct imperfections and cause them to disappear into the surrounding image. Like the cloning tools, use the Healing Brush tool to paint with sampled pixels from an image or pattern.
If there is a strong contrast at the edges of the area you want to heal, make a selection before you use the Healing Brush tool. The selection should be bigger than the area you want to heal and precisely follow the boundary of contrasting pixels. When you paint with the Healing Brush tool, the selection prevents colors from bleeding in from the outside.
You can set up to five different sample sources and quickly select the one you need without resampling each time you change to a different source. You can view an overlay of your sample source to make it easier to clone the source in a specific location. You can also scale or rotate the sample source to better match the size and orientation of the cloning destination.
The Clone Stamp tool paints one part of an image over another part of the same image or over another part of any open document that has the same color mode. You can also paint part of one layer over another layer. Use this tool for duplicating objects or removing a defect in an image.
You can use any brush tip with the Clone Stamp tool, which gives you precise control over the size of the clone area. You can also use opacity and flow settings to control the paint application to the cloned area.
To temporarily display the overlay while painting with the Clone Stamp tool, press Alt+Shift (Windows) or Option+Shift (macOS). The brush changes temporarily to the Move Source Overlay tool. Drag to move the overlay to another location.
When using the Clone Stamp tool or Healing Brush tool, you can paint with the sampled source anywhere in the target image. The overlay options help you visualize where you want to paint. However, if you paint in a specific location relative to the sampling point, you can specify the x and y pixel offset.
The Patch tool lets you repair a selected area with pixels from another area or a pattern. Like the Healing Brush tool, the Patch tool matches the texture, lighting, and shading of the sampled pixels to the source pixels.

I generally pack my tools, chain lube, and electrical tape in an easily accessible pocket of my Specialized Top Tube Pack and put the remaining items in either a Bedrock Honaker BOT bag strapped to the downtube of my Specialized Sequoia or in the SWAT storage compartment inside the downtube of my S-Works Fuse.
