move subscription

Question

We are an Azure EA customer. I have a tenant, let's call it tenant1, which has over 1,000 subscriptions. I have another tenant, let's call it tenant2, which has only one subscription. I want to move this one subscription from tenant2 to tenant1. I will work with Microsoft on this. What steps do I need to consider in moving this subscription? Additionally, I need to ensure that all resources from this subscription in tenant2 are moved to the subscription in tenant1. Is the tenant2 subscription integrated with Azure AD or not? what is the payment method used in Tenant2 subscription. I want to do my groundwork, so please let me know if I am missing any steps.

Answer 1

Hello Roger Roger,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

I understand that you would like to move your Azure Tenant2 subscriptions to Azure Tenant1 and you would like to have strategic planning list.

Most people with successful story about this kind of scenario moving a subscription from one Azure tenant to another is a multi-step process that involves careful planning and coordination with Microsoft. To follow best practices:

1. Contact Microsoft Support via your Azure Portal using your account to start the process of transferring the subscription. This is a requirement since subscription transfers between tenants aren't something that can be done directly by users. Follow the document and procedures align and review every process one after the other.
2. About your question 2:

   Additionally, I need to ensure that all resources from this subscription in tenant2 are moved to the subscription in tenant1.

   Make a comprehensive list of all resources and their configurations and ensuring All Resources Are Moved.
3. Also, your question3:

Is the tenant2 subscription integrated with Azure AD or not?

You will need to look at the directory associated with the subscription in tenant2 via the Azure portal, and also review any Azure AD configurations, such as role assignments, and sign-ins to see if they are associated with the subscription. To determine if the subscription in tenant2 is integrated with Azure AD: 4. Your question4:

What is the payment method used in Tenant2 subscription.

Check the billing details and payment method in the Azure portal under the subscription's billing section. If you're unable to access this information, contact Azure Billing Support for assistance. Microsoft accepts credit cards, debit cards, and wire transfers for business subscriptions as most acceptable payment method.
