Question

Hi Team,

I am looking for some guidance to know the best approach to migration Azure VM and other resources from one tenant to another tenant (we can consider a situation where company has been acquired or getting separated), what are the possible options and what is the recommended approach. any information or guidance is appreciated.

Hello @Gautam Gulati Thank you for contacting us on Microsoft Q&A platform. Happy to answer any questions you may have!

I understand that you want to migrate your Azure resources from one tenant to another tenant. There is no direct way to move the resources across tenants.

Copying a response from an earlier discussion where our MVP has answered this question in detail.

You can transfer an entire subscription to another tenant (if it is not a CSP subscription) so an option here is to first move the resource group to another subscription first (a temporary subscription perhaps) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/move-resource-group-and-subscription and then move this subscription to the new tenant - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/transfer-subscription

This is usually the easiest way assuming your resource types support a tenant/subscription move at all.
