revised Where does the copied data get placed when publishing a service to ArcGIS Server
I made the title more clear as there are "data upload" capabilities at the service level

comment Mosaic tool not licensed?
The Mosaic tool you referenced is in the Raster Dataset toolset. I believe @user19084 is using Mosaic Datasets. Tools in that toolset do need Editor or Info as Zachary points out. resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/… It can be a little confusing that the names are so similar, but there are differences in these 2 types

comment can arcpy detect whether it's running in Desktop or Server?
@Roland so I tested a couple more things after talking to a colleague. I dont have 10.0 with DT/AGS on the same machien, so I dont know how this will go, but try "arcpy.ProductInfo()". It tells you ArcINFO or ArcSERVER ... this actually might do it for you IF you're either running on DT, or the script as a GP Service in BOTH 10.0 and 10.1

comment can arcpy detect whether it's running in Desktop or Server?
@Roland ugh. Having to support different versions is problematic, if it was only the 10.1, using the different "bits" would have helped you through this by allowing you to make assumptions. (also assuming 64bit BG was NOT installed with 10.1)

@PetrKrebs no, when run from 64bit Python against 64bit BG (no AGS installed), it returns Desktop.

comment can arcpy detect whether it's running in Desktop or Server?
I forgot about arcpy.GetInstallInfo(). While it's purpose isn't to tell you what you're running under (it acts much the same as ListInstallations ... I believe it only returns engine|desktop when run from 32 and server when run from 64bit Python. But if you're back at 10.0 like it shows in your message, you'll have both server and desktop to decide upon

comment How to use CURRENT map document in Python tool?
You should be running this tool in process, and in the foreground. ("current" doesnt work in the background as there isn't a map there to operate on)

comment ArcGIS 10.1 Model cannot be transferred between Win7 and Win8 machines
If its a model inside a fGDB, and you have "read-only" permissions on what looks like the folder of the GDB in Explorer, you wont be able to write/save edits. What happens if you make a new toolbox on disk, then copy the model from your fGDB toolbox to your disk based toolbox?

I'm one of those Esri people :) It is a long way off.

comment What are the Pros and Cons to an ArcGISOnline Organizational Account?
Just to touch on a couple of your cons: It can only host Cached Map services and Feature Services, so if theres something in the traditional Map service you need, right, you dont have access. The geoprocessing thats coming is the hosted analytic solution (provided by Esri) which is in beta now. At this time there isn't a plan for hosting your own GP Services in AGOL.

comment psexec remote file execution with ArcGIS Server
I dont know psexec. I can say that if the .exe you're calling requires any sort of input (like it pops a window, and you have to click ok), or it absolutely has to pop a window to be shown on the active display, it wont work. For example, this will fail as it waits for the cmd.exe to be dismissed os.system("cmd.exe") vs. this os.system("c:\test\test.bat") which runs to completetion (bat just does an echo)

comment How can I setup a portable ArcGIS installation on a flash drive?
Whats your source on this? Looking at the Explorer download page you need to have at least .NET 3.5 installed and then install Explorer. At the very best I can only imagine pulling pieces of the installed product onto a flash drive and am skeptical that would work.
