I need to migrant a "Kaspersky Security Center" from a PC to ESXI VM.

I have used "VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client" to do it , The Windows server 2022 transfer fine . But some GUID or HDD ID have changed in this process and the "Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server" service failed to start. 

Is there any way to fix this problem ?

there is the Error log in EventViewer

You can use the backup of old KSC, deploy KSC in a new virtual machine (VM) configuring it with the same IP address and hostname as the old KSC, restore the old KSC backup.

First of all the new Machine should have similar IP and hostname/FQDN as configured in old KSC and then you can restore the backup of old KSC , upgrade ksc to 15.1 and use SQL 2016.

If you choose not to use SQL 2016 and instead use higher versions, don't forget the query below before starting the KSC service.

USE KAV

GO

ALTER DATABASE SCOPED CONFIGURATION SET TSQL_SCALAR_UDF_INLINING = OFF

GO

where KAV is the name of your database.

 

Otherwise, using SQL Server 2019 may result in errors with "There is insufficient system memory in the 'internal' resource pool to execute this query."

@Renan Corassa hello. Please do not use this workaround with 'TSQL_SCALAR_UDF_INLINING = OFF'. The latest cumulative updates for MS SQL must be installed to ensure correct functionality.

So you agree that Kaspersky needs to update the documentation?

@Renan Corassa we have this information in the articles:

• https://support.kaspersky.com/KSC/15.1/en-US/92235.htm
• https://support.kaspersky.com/KSC/15.1/en-US/92403.htm

"If you are using SQL Server 2019 as a DBMS and you do not have cumulative patch CU12 or later, you have to perform the following after installing Kaspersky Security Center: ... "

Correct. my fault.

I Re-installed it ....
