Enable Periodic assessment for VM with API REST

[AKowsigan]

Hello,

I find a way to enable Periodic assessment for azure VM and also change patch orchestration to "Customer Managed Schedules (Preview)" with the API REST in Powershell with this :

$subscriptionId = "mySubscription" $resourceGroup = "myRG" $virtualMachine = "myVM" $apiUrl = "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/$subscriptionId/resourceGroups/$resourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/$($virtualMachine)?api-version=2023-03-01"

$body = "{

"properties": { "osProfile": { "windowsConfiguration": { "provisionVMAgent": true, "enableAutomaticUpdates": true, "patchSettings": { "patchMode": "AutomaticByPlatform", "assessmentMode": "AutomaticByPlatform", "automaticByPlatformSettings":{ "bypassPlatformSafetyChecksOnUserSchedule":true } } } } } }"

$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Method PATCH -Uri $apiUrl -Body $body -Headers @{Authorization = "bearer $($token.Token)" } -ContentType "application/json"

I think it could be great if you can update the documentation for other people, so they know that they can also use the API :).
