Hi Team,

I am trying to move all the AZURE resources from one subscription to another within the same region. I did the validation and found out the below error message associated with Public IP of the VPN Gateway.

Please need advise and solution as we need to move due to some organizational issues.

{"code":"ResourceMoveProviderValidationFailed","message":"Resource move validation failed. Please see details. Diagnostic information: timestamp '20230120T134717Z', subscription id '136b2ad3-3cf3-401f-80f0-66c2e2eafbd9', tracking id '0c829fe2-6076-4c8c-b920-ff338ddb9f75', request correlation id '0010e4fe-de24-4675-8752-3e8a5184a8cc'.","details":[{"code":"CannotMoveResource","target":"Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks","message":"Cannot move one or more resources in the request. Please check details for information about each resource.","details":[{"code":"MoveNotSupported","message":"Move for resource type publicIPAddresses is not supported.

    Public IP looks to be supported to be moved - you may have to Disassociate It, though.

    "While Microsoft very recently added the ability to migrate Standard SKU Public IPs across subscriptions—it is not possible to move them if they are associated with any resource."

    Instead of using Azure Resource Mover to move your resources (which are made for stateful resources to be replicated to another region), try the Normal Move.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/move-resource-group-and-subscription?WT.mc_id=AZ-MVP-5004796#use-the-portal

    Make sure you select Subscription (and not Region).

    I am assuming you are migrating to another subscription within the same tenancy?

    I tried the subscription move in the same region from the Resource Group, however it gave the same error as the resource mover.

    Below is the RAW error for better clarity,

    {
      "code": "ResourceMoveProviderValidationFailed",
      "message": "Resource move validation failed. Please see details. Diagnostic information: timestamp '20230123T135536Z', subscription id '136b2ad3-3cf3-401f-80f0-66c2e2eafbd9', tracking id 'e8fe0eb6-407a-4478-9c89-79bda002c740', request correlation id '372464a9-3b72-4a4d-91a9-22b5ddc45c30'.",

            }
          ]
        }
      ]
