The ArcGIS Enterprise Admin (EAEP) study guide has 5 sections and about 2,108 words.
01ArcGIS Enterprise Architecture and Components
Domain 1 asks you to reconstruct a base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment from memory and reason about what changes when you add servers, high availability, or a new capability. Since 10.6, the base deployment must be installed on a single machine and consists of exactly four components: Portal for ArcGIS, ArcGIS Server configured as the portal's hosting server, ArcGIS Data Store, and ArcGIS Web Adaptor.
422 words, about 2 min02Installation, Configuration, and Licensing
This domain covers prerequisites, authorization, the order in which components are installed and configured, and which license or user type unlocks a requested capability. A base deployment goes on one machine with a fixed, fully qualified hostname.
429 words, about 2 min03Security, Authentication, and Access Control
Expect questions on identity stores, how user types, roles and sharing combine, and where each authentication mechanism is actually configured. A portal uses either built-in accounts or an enterprise identity store: LDAP/Active Directory, SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect, PKI, or Windows authentication configured at the Web Adaptor.
403 words, about 2 min04Data Stores, Content Management, and Publishing
This domain tests which data store type backs which layer, when to copy data versus reference it, and how portal content and services correspond. Relational: a managed PostgreSQL enterprise geodatabase holding hosted feature layers and feature collections; one primary plus an optional standby, not a scale-out cluster.

This domain covers what to back up and in what order, how to read logs and health signals, which tuning levers exist, and the supported upgrade sequence. Portal: configuration store and content directory, exported through the portal administrator directory or captured at file level with the portal stopped.
