This repository contains scripts, code and samples for automating the install and configuration of ArcGIS (Enterprise and Desktop) using Microsoft Windows PowerShell DSC (Desired State Configuration).
I am trying to run the above DSC in a specific case: this configuration has been successfully applied and VMs configured. Then, I destroyed the standby VM (hosting standby portal, standby tileCache and relational datastore) and I was hopping to get my VM "joined" the site again by running again the DSC config.
But ArcGIS Server join site operation fails.
Actual Behavior
Messages : Failed to join the site 'ht
tps://mapsportalqa01.company.com:6443/arcgis/admin'. Server machine 'https://mapsportalqa01.company.com:6443/arcgis/admin/machines/register' returned an

d an error. 'Configuration store error. Cannot get persistence. File system '\\company.com\dfs\GIS\HA\mapsqa\config-store' connection failed. The specified location is not accessible. Ensure that the ArcGIS Server account has read and write access to the location. ''.
Indeed, the ArcGIS Server is not configured to run as the service account defined in the config file. Digging into the log, I get the following:

As you see, it detected that the service account did not match and configured it but at the end, it was not taken into account and ArcGIS Server was then failing to "join site".
In a previous successful config, I had the following:

The difference is that in my current case, the ArcGIS Server is not restarted while it should so that it is taken into account.
After restarting the service so that it picked up run as the service account change, run the config again, "join site" operation was successful.
So it seems like it should restart not only when permissions are set on directoriry "C:\Program Files\Arcgis\Server" but also when the "Run As" property has been updated.
