At this step of the wizard, specify the following connection settings, depending on the database management system (DBMS) that you have selected:
If you connect to the SQL Server through a custom port, then together with the SQL Server host name specify the port number separated with a comma, for example:
SQL_Server_host_name,1433
If you secure communication between the Administration Server and SQL Server by means of a certificate, specify in the SQL Server instance name field the same host name that was used at the certificate generating. If you use a named instance of SQL Server, then together with the SQL Server host name specify the port number separated with a comma, for example:
SQL_Server_name,1433
If you use several instances of SQL Server on the same host, then additionally specify the instance name separated with a backslash, for example:
SQL_Server_name\SQL_Server_instance_name,1433
If a SQL Server on the enterprise network has the Always On feature enabled, specify the name of the availability group listener in the SQL Server instance name field. Note that Administration Server supports only the synchronous-commit availability mode when the Always On feature is enabled.
If at this stage you want to install SQL Server on the device from which you are installing Kaspersky Security Center, you must stop installation and restart it after SQL Server is installed. The supported SQL Server versions are listed in the system requirements.
If you want to install SQL Server on a remote device, you do not have to interrupt the Kaspersky Security Center setup wizard. Install SQL Server and resume installation of Kaspersky Security Center.
