When creating a SQL Server through the Azure portal, it generates a random server name like abcsomejunkcharactersxyz.database.windows.net. While I realize this is some level of security through obscurity… Is there no way to control the name of the SQL Server in Azure?
Optimally, this would be controllable at either creation time or via a rename and able to be done in an automated fashion through PowerShell.
You can’t, the naming isn’t for security, it’s to ensure uniqueness – what if two users wanted the same name? Which user should get it?
