Additional Information
We apologize that we were unable to address this issue within the current product support cycle. If the issue continues to affect your work in a supported release, please contact Technical Support.Workaround
Specify a different name for the new raster layer. The layer can then be renamed, and the table of contents (TOC) can be updated using the following code:arcpy.MakeRasterLayer_management(in_raster="raster", out_rasterlayer="rasttmp") mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT") df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "Layers")[0] for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "*", df): if (<a href="http://lyr.name" target="_blank">lyr.name</a> == "rasttmp"): <a href="http://lyr.name" target="_blank">lyr.name</a> = "raster" arcpy.RefreshTOC()This is a relatively inconvenient method to have a raster layer by the same name as the input.Steps to Reproduce
