    Hello @jpcapone , happy to help!

    I recommend exploring Azure Migrate feature for your migration scenario?
    Azure Site Recovery is best used for these 2 disaster recovery scenarios:

    1. On-prem machines to Azure
    2. Azure VMs across Azure Regions.

    Also noticed you are moving ADFS servers so sharing this useful reference that touches on how to move your claims/adfs aware apps to the cloud. this may be another feasible option over ADFS migration to Azure. Hope this helps.
