​

1. Open the Azure CLI in your terminal or command prompt.
2. Login to your Azure account using the command “az login”.
3. Once you are logged in, run the following command to set the “sendScanReportTo” property to a valid email address:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   az sql vm group update --name <resource-group-name> --sql-management --send-scan-report-to <email-address>
   

   Replace <resource-group-name> with the name of the resource group where your SQL Server virtual machine is located and <email-address> with a valid email address where you want to receive the scan reports.
4. After running the command, the “sendScanReportTo” property will be set and the vulnerability assessment scan reports will be sent to the specified email address.

1. Import the necessary libraries:

from azure.common.credentials import ServicePrincipalCredentials
from azure.mgmt.security import SecurityCenter
from azure.mgmt.security.models import SecurityAssessmentMetadata

2. Authenticate and create a client object:

credentials = ServicePrincipalCredentials(client_id=<client_id>,
                                          secret=<client_secret>,
                                          tenant=<tenant_id>)

security_center_client = SecurityCenter(credentials, <subscription_id>)

3. Retrieve the assessment metadata for the specific subscription:

assessment_metadata = security_center_client.assessment_metadata.get(<subscription_id>, "vulnerabilityAssessmentSettings")

4. Check if the “sendScanReportsTo” property is configured:

if assessment_metadata.send_scan_reports_to is None:
    assessment_metadata.send_scan_reports_to = "<email_address>"

5. Update the assessment metadata:

security_center_client.assessment_metadata.create_or_update(<subscription_id>, "vulnerabilityAssessmentSettings", assessment_metadata)
