Using Enterprise Builder after already installing some components

[Ivy_Hinson]

Hi, I recently installed Enterprise portal and web adaptor for portal. Can I still use Enterprise Builder to deploy the data store and server or will this disrupt what I've already set up?

[MarceloMarques]

Enterprise Builder will install, deploy, configure the entire stack - Portal, Server, Web Adaptors, Data Store. Hence is best if you uninstall the components that you have manually installed.

I uninstalled Portal and its web server. Now when I launch the configuration wizard I am getting the error: 

[MarceloMarques · Accepted solution]

Open Control Panel > Programs and Features and check that Portal and Webadaptor were removed.

Then delete the folders

C:\Program Files\ArcGIS

C:\Program Files\ESRI

C:\ProgramData\ArcGIS

C:\ProgramData\Esri

C:\ProgramData\Flexnet

Reboot the machine and try again.

If still fails, then, it would be easier if you ask your system administrator to reinstall the OS to get a fresh machine.

Greetings @Ivy_Hinson 

If your intention is to set up a base deployment of ArcGIS Enterprise, that is all components in a single machine, you have the option of uninstalling Portal and its Web Adaptor, and then using ArcGIS Enterprise Builder, as suggested by @MarceloMarques to carry out the full deployment, or you could continue to install the remaining components, ArcGIS Server and its associated Web Adaptor and the ArcGIS Data Store followed by configuration. Please, check Tutorial: Set up a base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment. 

For other available deployment options, please check ArcGIS Enterprise: Installation and Deployment.

If you have all ready installed some of the server components it will affect theEnterprise Builder.  I ran into that a few years ago upgrading my server, I had uninstalled everything and tried EB so it would be a fresh install.  I have not heard that that has changed in the new versions of the Server software.  Thank you.
