Sample ArcGIS Enterprise Admin (EAEP) Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your ArcGIS Enterprise Admin (EAEP) exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment requires four core software components. Which set correctly lists all four?
A.ArcGIS Server, Portal for ArcGIS, ArcGIS Data Store, and ArcGIS Web Adaptor
B.ArcGIS Pro, Portal for ArcGIS, ArcGIS Online, and ArcGIS Web Adaptor
C.ArcGIS Server, ArcGIS Notebook Server, ArcGIS GeoEvent Server, and ArcGIS Data Store
D.ArcGIS Server, Portal for ArcGIS, ArcGIS Image Server, and ArcGIS Monitor
Explanation: A base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment consists of exactly four components: ArcGIS Server (licensed as GIS Server and configured as the hosting server), Portal for ArcGIS, ArcGIS Data Store, and ArcGIS Web Adaptor. Together they provide the minimum Web GIS capability.
2In a base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment, what role is the federated ArcGIS Server site configured to perform?
A.Geoanalytics server
B.Hosting server
C.Raster analytics server
D.Workflow server
Explanation: The ArcGIS GIS Server in a base deployment is federated with the portal and designated as the portal's hosting server. The hosting server runs hosted feature, tile, and scene layers and supports analysis tools, backed by ArcGIS Data Store.
3Which two ArcGIS Data Store types must be configured to support a hosting server in a base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment?
A.Spatiotemporal store and relational store
B.Tile cache store and graph store
C.Relational store and object store
D.Object store and spatiotemporal store
Explanation: A base deployment requires a relational data store (for hosted feature layer data) and an object store (for caches and certain hosted layer data). Tile cache, spatiotemporal, and graph stores are optional additions for specific capabilities.
4A base deployment uses two ArcGIS Web Adaptor instances. How are they typically configured?
A.Both registered with the hosting server
B.Both registered with the portal for redundancy
C.One with ArcGIS Data Store and one with the portal
D.One registered with the portal and one with the hosting server
Explanation: In a single-machine base deployment, two Web Adaptor instances are deployed: one configured with Portal for ArcGIS and one with the ArcGIS Server hosting site. They provide a friendly URL, restrict the admin endpoints, and enable web-tier authentication or load balancing.
5What is the primary purpose of the ArcGIS Web Adaptor in an Enterprise deployment?
A.To integrate ArcGIS Server or Portal with an organization's web server and provide a friendly, secure URL
B.To store and replicate hosted feature layer data
C.To perform raster and big-data analytics
D.To act as the relational database for the geodatabase
Explanation: The Web Adaptor integrates ArcGIS Server or Portal for ArcGIS with the organization's existing web server (IIS or Java application server). It provides a clean public URL, can block access to administrative endpoints, and enables web-tier authentication and load balancing.
6An administrator wants to federate an existing ArcGIS Server site with Portal for ArcGIS. Which information about the server site must be provided to the portal during federation?
A.Only the machine's IP address
B.The services URL and the administration URL of the server site
C.The ArcGIS Data Store backup directory
D.The SMTP relay host for the portal
Explanation: When federating, you provide the server's Services URL (the public-facing URL through the Web Adaptor or load balancer) and the Administration URL (the internal admin endpoint), plus the primary site administrator credentials. This lets the portal manage the server's security and services.
7After federating an ArcGIS Server site with a portal, which system manages the security and user authentication for that server's services?
A.ArcGIS Data Store
B.The standalone ArcGIS Server token service
C.Portal for ArcGIS
D.The Web Adaptor's local user store
Explanation: Federation hands control of the server's security model to the portal. The federated server uses the portal's identity store and token service, so users and roles defined in the portal govern access to that server's services.
8Which configuration tool or utility is used to silently create, join, or configure an ArcGIS Server site from the command line during automated deployment?
A.The changeloglevel utility
B.The webgisdr utility
C.The updatewebadaptor utility
D.The ArcGIS Server Configuration Wizard / configureserversite utility
Explanation: The ArcGIS Server Configuration Wizard (and its silent/scripted equivalent) creates or joins a site, sets the primary site administrator account, and defines the configuration store and server directories. Automated deployments commonly script this step.
9An organization needs to publish hosted scene layers (3D) served as cached content. Which ArcGIS Data Store type should be configured?
A.Tile cache data store
B.Relational data store
C.Spatiotemporal big data store
D.Graph store
Explanation: The tile cache data store stores caches for hosted scene layers and certain hosted tile layers. It is optimized for serving cached 3D and tiled content from the hosting server.
10Which ArcGIS Data Store type is required to enable GeoAnalytics Server tools that analyze large volumes of real-time and historical observation data?
A.Relational data store
B.Spatiotemporal big data store
C.Tile cache data store
D.Object store
Explanation: The spatiotemporal big data store archives high-volume real-time observations from GeoEvent Server and provides storage for results of GeoAnalytics Tools. It is built on a distributed, scalable architecture for big data workflows.

ArcGIS Enterprise Admin (EAEP) Study Tips from Top Performers

1Start with the four EAEP_2025 sections and weight your study toward Deploy and Manage Content, which together make up most of the exam.
2Build a base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment hands-on so federation, the hosting server, Data Store types, and Web Adaptors become second nature.
3Practice the webgisdr backup and restore workflow, including full and incremental modes and point-in-time recovery.
4Know the differences among Data Store types: relational, tile cache, spatiotemporal, object, and graph stores.
5For troubleshooting, learn to reason from the error scope to the responsible component, such as a data store failure breaking only hosted feature layers.
