+## Automatic connection for SQL Server
+
+When you connect a Windows or Linux server to Azure Arc that also has Microsoft SQL Server installed, the SQL Server instances will automatically be connected to Azure Arc as well. [SQL Server enabled by Azure Arc](/sql/sql-server/azure-arc/overview) provides a detailed inventory and additional management capabilities for your SQL Server instances and databases. As part of the connection process, an extension is deployed to your Azure Arc-enabled server and [new roles](/sql/sql-server/azure-arc/permissions-granted-agent-extension) will be applied to your SQL Server and databases. If you don't want to automatically connect your SQL Servers to Azure Arc, you can opt out by adding a tag to the Windows or Linux server with the name `ArcSQLServerExtensionDeployment` and value `Disabled` when it's connected to Azure Arc.

 Follow the steps to [create a service principal for onboarding at scale](onboard-service-principal.md#create-a-service-principal-for-onboarding-at-scale). Assign the **Azure Connected Machine Onboarding** role to your service principal, and limit the scope of the role to the target Azure landing zone. Make a note of the Service Principal ID and Service Principal Secret, as you'll need these values later.
