Enable vulnerability assessments on Azure SQL databases with the express configuration

Article
08/07/2024

This PowerShell script enables the express configuration of vulnerability assessments on an Azure SQL Server.

If vulnerability assessment has already been configured using the classic configuration, this script migrates it to the express configuration and copies all of the pre-existing baseline definitions. Your scan history isn't copied over to the new configuration. Your scan history remains accessible on the storage account that was previously used by the classic configuration.

Prerequisites

This sample requires Azure PowerShell Az 1.0 or later. Run Get-Module -ListAvailable Az to see which versions are installed. If you need to install, see Install Azure PowerShell module.

Run Connect-AzAccount to sign in to Azure.

If you don't have an Azure subscription, create an Azure free account before you begin.

The user should have Storage Blob Data Reader role on the storage account.
Storage networking settings must be configured to allow access to the machine that executes the command.
You must have permission to create folders in the working directory used by the script.

Sample script - MigratingToExpressConfiguration.ps1

Note

We recommend that you use the Azure Az PowerShell module to interact with Azure. To get started, see Install Azure PowerShell. To learn how to migrate to the Az PowerShell module, see Migrate Azure PowerShell from AzureRM to Az.

#Requires -Modules @{ ModuleName="Az.Sql"; ModuleVersion="3.11.0" }
#Requires -Modules @{ ModuleName="Az.Storage"; ModuleVersion="4.8.0" }
#Requires -Modules @{ ModuleName="Az.Accounts"; ModuleVersion="2.9.1" }
#Requires -Version 5.1

.SYNOPSIS
    This script configured an Azure SQL Server to the express configuration Vulnerability Assessment feature, scans all databases that belong to the selected server and set baselines (if defined in classic configuration) from the storage that is configures in the policy.

.DESCRIPTION
This script migrates Azure SQL Server to express configuration Vulnerability Assessment feature by executing the following steps:
- It deletes the current Vulnerability Assessment settings (if exists).
  This step will reset all the Vulnerability Assessment scans and baselines for all databases.
- It copies the current baselines (if exist) from the customer's storage.

In order to revert this script follow the instructions as mentioned here: https://video2.skills-academy.com/azure/defender-for-cloud/sql-azure-vulnerability-assessment-manage?tabs=express#revert-back-to-the-classic-configuration.

.PARAMETER ServerSubscriptionId
    The Subscription id that the server belongs to

.PARAMETER ServerResourceGroupName
    The Resource Group that the server belongs to

.PARAMETER ServerName
    The SQL server name that we want to apply the new SQL Vulnerability Assessment policy to.

.PARAMETER Force
    Will remove the old Vulnerability Assessment setting without asking for confirmation.

.EXAMPLE
    .\MigratingToExpressConfiguration.ps1 -SubscriptionId "25b642fc-05c3-11ed-b939-0242ac120002" -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -ServerName "Server01" -Force
