[[KASPERSKY SECURITY CENTER 11] Silent installation for Administration Server]

Hello,

I want to deploy with silent install Kaspersky Security Center 11 Administration Server on Windows Server 2019 & SQL Server Express 2016.

I have succeeded to deploy it with graphical install however I have to deploy it silently.

As I could read in the docs (https://help.kaspersky.com/KSC/11/en-US/92477.htm), I’ve tried several ways both with MSI package and setup.exe.

Using msiexec

msiexec /l*v "<pathtologs>\Install_KSC_setup.log" /i "<pathToSources>\Server\setup.exe" /qn DONT_USE_ANSWER_FILE=1 EULA=1 PRIVACYPOLICY=1 INSTALLATIONMODETYPE=Custom INSTALLDIR=<pathToInstallDir>\Kaspersky_Security_Center_Server ADDLOCAL=<listOfModulesToInstall> SRV_ACCOUNT_TYPE=SrvAccountUser SERVERACCOUNTNAME=<srvAccountName> SERVERACCOUNTPWD=<AccountPwd> DBTYPE=MSSQL MSSQLCONNECTIONTYPE=ChooseExisting MSSQLSERVERNAME=<host>\<instanceName> MSSQLDBNAME=KAV MSSQLAUTHTYPE=Windows MSSQLACCOUNTNAME=<SQLAccountUser> MSSQLACCOUNTPWD=<SQLAccountPwd> CREATE_SHARE_TYPE=Create SHARELOCALPATH=<pathToShareDir>\Kaspersky\KLSHARE SHAREFOLDERNAME=KLSHARE SERVERPORT=14000 SERVERSSLPORT=13000 SERVERADDRESS=<myServerFQDN>

 

msiexec /l*v "<pathtologs>\Install_KSC_setup.log" /i "<pathToSources>\Server\setup.exe" DONT_USE_ANSWER_FILE=1 EULA=1 PRIVACYPOLICY=1 INSTALLATIONMODETYPE=Custom INSTALLDIR=<pathToInstallDir>\Kaspersky_Lab\Kaspersky_Security_Center_Server ADDLOCAL=<listOfModulesToInstall> SRV_ACCOUNT_TYPE=SrvAccountUser SERVERACCOUNTNAME=<srvAccountName> SERVERACCOUNTPWD=<srvAccountPwd> DBTYPE=MSSQL MSSQLCONNECTIONTYPE=ChooseExisting MSSQLSERVERNAME=<host>\<instanceName> MSSQLDBNAME=KAV MSSQLAUTHTYPE=Windows MSSQLACCOUNTNAME=<SQLAccountUser> MSSQLACCOUNTPWD=<SQLAccountPwd> CREATE_SHARE_TYPE=Create SHARELOCALPATH=<pathToShareDir>\Kaspersky\KLSHARE SHAREFOLDERNAME=KLSHARE SERVERPORT=14000 SERVERSSLPORT=13000 SERVERADDRESS=<myServerFQDN> /qn

Using the msiexec.exe, I’ve recorded a 1603 error in the log file :

MSI (s) (5C:04) [11:49:34:079]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\Windows\Installer\MSI55.tmp, Entrypoint: CheckServerRequirementsCA
Début de l'action 11:49:34 : CheckServerRequirements.
CustomAction CheckServerRequirements returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)
Action terminé 11:49:34 : CheckServerRequirements. Valeur retournée 3.
Action terminé 11:49:34 : INSTALL. Valeur retournée 3.

I’m surprised because the server hardware is very above the minimal requirements (Xeon 2.50 Ghz, 8gb RAM).

So I also tried with the install with setup.exe.

Using setup.exe

.\setup.exe /v"DONT_USE_ANSWER_FILE=1 EULA=1 PRIVACYPOLICY=1 INSTALLATIONMODETYPE=CustomINSTALLDIR=D:\APPLIS\Kaspersky_Lab\Kaspersky_Security_Center_Server ADDLOCAL=<listOfModulesToInstall> SRV_ACCOUNT_TYPE=SrvAccountUser SERVERACCOUNTNAME=<srvAccountName> SERVERACCOUNTPWD=<srvAccountPwd> DBTYPE=MSSQL MSSQLCONNECTIONTYPE=ChooseExisting MSSQLSERVERNAME=<host>\<instanceName> MSSQLDBNAME=KAVMASTER MSSQLAUTHTYPE=Windows MSSQLACCOUNTNAME=<SQLAccountUser> MSSQLACCOUNTPWD=<AccountPwd> CREATE_SHARE_TYPE=Create SHARELOCALPATH=<pathToShareDir>\Kaspersky\KLSHARE SHAREFOLDERNAME=KLSHARE SERVERPORT=14000 SERVERSSLPORT=13000 SERVERADDRESS=<myServerFQDN>"

setup.exe /pEULA=1 /pPRIVACYPOLICY=1 /pINSTALLATIONMODETYPE=Custom /pINSTALLDIR=<pathToInstallDir>\Kaspersky_Lab\Kaspersky_Security_Center_Server /pADDLOCAL=<listOfModulesToInstall> /pSRV_ACCOUNT_TYPE=SrvAccountUser /pSERVERACCOUNTNAME=<srvAccountName> /pSERVERACCOUNTPWD=<AccountPwd> /pDBTYPE=MSSQL /pMSSQLCONNECTIONTYPE=ChooseExisting /pMSSQLSERVERNAME=<host>\<instanceName> /pMSSQLDBNAME=KAV /pMSSQLAUTHTYPE=Windows /pMSSQLACCOUNTNAME=<SQLAccountUser> /pMSSQLACCOUNTPWD=<SQLAccountPwd> /pCREATE_SHARE_TYPE=Create /pSHARELOCALPATH=<pathToShareDir>\Kaspersky\KLSHARE /pSHAREFOLDERNAME=KLSHARE /pSERVERPORT=14000 /pSERVERSSLPORT=13000 /pSERVERADDRESS=<myServerFQDN> /s

But trying this did not help me to solve the problem because nothing happened.

Have you ever install the Administration Server in silent mode ? 

I mean to explore the process to make a package for Administration Server using the Administration Console but I do not find any docs / resources about it (only concerning Network agent, Endpoint agents and Web Console).

I would be grateful for your help.
