Hi Yuk Leong Chow,

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

The error message indicates an issue with installing IIS (Internet Information Services) due to an invalid name related to “PowerShell.” Suggest you follow the below fixes provided, I believe one of them should work.

• Open PowerShell as an Administrator and run the following commands to install the necessary features manually

    Install-WindowsFeature -Name Web-Server, Web-WebServer, Web-Common-Http, Web-Default-Doc, Web-Dir-Browsing, Web-Http-Errors, Web-App-Dev, Web-Net-Ext, Web-Net-Ext45, Web-Asp-Net, Web-Asp-Net45, Web-ISAPI-Ext, Web-ISAPI-Filter, Web-Includes, Web-WebSockets, We
  

• If you’re using the Azure Migrate installer script, consider removing the reference to PowerShell-ISE from line 518 in the script.

• Ensure that your Windows Server 2022 environment is up-to-date. Sometimes, installing updates can resolve compatibility issues.
• Try an in-place upgrade from Windows Server 2019 to 2022. Make sure to set up the installation procedure to avoid installing any updates during the process. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/557419/problem-with-in-place-upgrade-from-windows-server
• Verify that you have the necessary fixes installed on the server. For example, KB 3005628 might be required to address IIS installation issues. https://serverfault.com/questions/839729/azure-site-recovery-unified-setup-iis-fail

Hello @Yuk Leong Chow Thank you for contacting and sorry for the inconvenience caused to you!

For classic architecture we only support windows 2016.

Deploy the configuration server in Azure Site Recovery - Azure Site Recovery | Microsoft Learn

The Configuration/Process server is not supported for Windows 2022.  

 Additionally, the Classic method of ASR for VMware/Physical to Azure is on the deprecation path:  Deprecation of classic experience to protect VMware and physical machines using Azure Site Recovery - Azure Site Recovery | Microsoft Learn

 

Recommendation would be to use the Modernized experience to avoid the need to migrate within a year and a half when Classic experience is deprecated.
