Hello.

 

Good day,

 

I just have a question regarding on the installation of KSC.

Hello.

There is no restriction for destination host for KSC Console.

Hi,

 

We are using  SQL 2014 as database, and we got some error upon the installation of SQL and upon my research SQL is not recommended to install in AD Server.

Why do you think that KSC Administration Console requires SQL server ?

For the database.

As you can see MS SQL does not mentioned here. 

Maybe you are talking about other product ?

There is no restrictions in KSC deployment regarding AD DC. 

You may plan your deployment using this article "Kaspersky Security Center deployment scenarios" - https://help.kaspersky.com/KSC/SP3/en-US/153504.htm  . 

If you do not want to install MSSQL server on your  DC, KSC can connect to SQL server through the network. 

Also you should keep in mind a size of your network, computational and storage resources available to your AD DC.
