Cleanup Automation account

If Update Management was configured to support earlier versions of Azure SQL monitoring, setup of the feature might have created Automation assets that you should remove. For Update Management, you might want to remove the following items that are no longer needed:

  • Update schedules - Each has a name that matches the update deployment you created.
  • Hybrid worker groups created for Update Management - Each is named similarly to machine1.contoso.com_9ceb8108-26c9-4051-b6b3-227600d715c8).
