A vulnerability assessment solution should be enabled on your virtual machines

Hi,

 

I have an action to take in Defender for Cloud, where a vulnerability solution needs to be installed on multiple VMs.

 

Does any one know if I action this, that this may cause the machines in scope for the issue to restart, or am I OK to use the Quick Fix option that if available, to apply a Vuln Solution to all the machines in scope for this recommendation?

We have Defender for Servers P2 on all known servers in the estate

    Hi Brok3NSpear,

    usually, deploying a vulnerability assessment solution on your virtual machines through Microsoft Defender for Cloud doesn't necessitate a reboot of the machines.

    You can use the Quick Fix option to apply the vulnerability solution to all the machines in scope for this recommendation.
