Hi Khalid Hajjouji

Could you please try the below commands

az login --service-principal --username 'someGUID' --password 'someSecret' --tenant 'tenantGuid'
az account set --subscription 'sourceSubscriptionGUID'
az resource move --destination-group 'destinationResourceGroupName' --destination-subscription-id 'destinationSubscriptionGUID' --ids $(az resource list --resource-group 'sourceResourceGroupName' --query "[].id" -o tsv)

Alternatively, you can try the below commands

# 1. Login with service principal
az login --service-principal --username 'someGUID' --password 'someSecret' --tenant 'tenantGuid'
# 2. Set source subscription
az account set --subscription 'sourceSubscriptionGUID'
# 3. Gather all resource IDs in the source resource group
RESOURCE_IDS=$(az resource list --resource-group <source-rg-name> --query "[].id" -o tsv)
# 4. Move resources
az resource move \
  --destination-group <destination-rg-name> \
  --destination-subscription-id <destination-subscription-id> \
  --ids $RESOURCE_IDS

Hope this helps!
