Hi All,

I have enabled New Microsoft Vulnerability Management from Environment settings - Under Subscription - Under server plan. We have Plan 2 license.

But i don't see any extension getting installed under server VMs. Please suggest on how to confirm if its installed correctly or not.

Thanks,

    Specifically enabling only the Vulnerability assessment for machines (Microsoft Defender vulnerability management) does not install any agent as it is agentless. You can check the details at: Vulnerability scanning for machines. If you enable Endpoint protection there you will have agent/extension that will also do the Vulnerability assessment via that agent.
