Hi,
This is a bit troublesome. I have a Win Srv 2008 in Azure that has been running for ages (long before the ARM era), reading and providing some web services. I have no plan to upgrade the functionallity itself but have no problem to move the VM to another "container". (Actually I also have a NT4 server running as a VM on an Intel Stick. If it works, don't touch it ;) but that is another topic...).
The thing is - I cannot reach my 2008 in the Azure admin center. The cloud service in which it was created is there, but when I click the server SRV1 I get an error that the resource is not to be found (see img). The server IS up'n'running (and can be reached by e.g. RDP) but I am worried if the servers has to be shut down. How can I then restart it if I cannot administer the server?
And as I said - moving the VM to ARM is no problem, but how do I do it when Azure prevents me to fiddle around with the VM?

    @Staffan Willén There are a few things that can cause this, but the most obvious is to make sure that you are added as a classic administrator to the subscription. Even if you are listed as an owner for the subscription, you might need to add yourself as a classic administrator.

    If that does not work, see if you can see the resource using azure classic powershell. If the resource does not show up, it is likely in a different subscription / resource group.

    If you need additional help, please let me know.
