On the topic of this:
can we clone the Deadline Repository and work from the clone and original (not for backup but for redundancy purposes).
We would ensure the clone has realtime syncing enabled.
Would that work?
(example: Round Robin Load balancing between two file servers or having a cloud repo and a local repo)
Just a quick update, I went through it again this afternoon in preparation for some assistance from the Thinkbox folk. The write up’s do seem a bit more streamlined, but outcome is the same (as in it doesn’t work). I have no idea where the kink in the chain is, but I’m hoping I have enough of the framework up and running that Thinkbox can help me out.
The main issue SEEMS to center around the portal server and portal link (these are different?). The console says something like:

and the portal link log says:

I sorta get all nostalgic working through this, brings back memories of me trying to setup Deadline initially and configure it from scratch
Also do we really need to uninstall and reinstall the AWS Link every time there is a security update?
