### New preview recommendation for Azure SQL Servers
26+
27+
We have added a new recommendation for Azure SQL Servers, `Azure SQL Server authentication mode should be Azure Active Directory Only (Preview)`.
28+
29+
The recommendation is based on the existing policy [`Azure SQL Database should have Azure Active Directory Only Authentication enabled`](https://ms.portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Policy/PolicyDetailBlade/definitionId/%2fproviders%2fMicrosoft.Authorization%2fpolicyDefinitions%2fabda6d70-9778-44e7-84a8-06713e6db027)
30+
31+
This recommendation disables local authentication methods and allows only Azure Active Directory Authentication which improves security by ensuring that Azure SQL Databases can exclusively be accessed by Azure Active Directory identities.
