Hi,

We have some VM's in DevTest Labs, which are accessible via PIP. We want to remove that, make them only accessible via our ExpressRoute and join them to the domain. We also want to change their IP's, so need to change them to a new subnet. I've tried doing this already, but it's not possible unless in the same address space, which isn't an option for us. If I can't change them to new IP's, if there anyway of exporting the VM's to normal, none DevTest Lab VM's?

    Issue:

    We have some VM's in DevTest Labs, which are accessible via PIP. We want to remove that, make them only accessible via our ExpressRoute and join them to the domain. We also want to change their IP's, so need to change them to a new subnet. I've tried doing this already, but it's not possible unless in the same address space, which isn't an option for us.

    Solution provided by Paul Nesbitt:

    Managed to find a solution. The DevTest Lab is in Southeast Asia, so as we ideally want them in UK South, I used Azure Site Recovery to replicate the VM to UK South. This allows us to move it out of DevTest Labs along with being able to specify a new address space. Once it's failed over, disabled ASR leaving the UK South VM intact and able to be used as a normal VM, now connected to our domain.
