How to remove Azure Arc VM from Log Analytics Workspace & Automation account?

Question

Had a VM onboarded to Arc in Subscription A, connected to Log Analytics Workspace A / Automation Account A.

I moved the Arc VM from Subscription A to Subscription B, which passed validation etc, but it the VM was still connected the LAW and AA from Subscription A.

Things I've tried, to 'unhook it' from them;

• Logged onto the VM and ran azcmagent disconnect
• Uninstalled extensions from the Arc VM object.
• Removed and re-added the VM into Arc, using the onboarding script generated in Subscription B.

Any other ideas?
Thanks!

Hi @Eccup Reservoir

Check to see if the VM is still listed in the Log Analytics Workspace in subscription A.

1. Sign in to the Azure portal.
2. Navigate to the Log Analytics Workspace and Automation account in Subscription A.
3. In the left-hand menu, select "Virtual Machine (deprecated)" under the "Classic" section.
4. Check if the VM is still listed in the connected machines list.
5. If the VM is still listed, select it from the list and click on the "Disconnect" button to remove it from the Log Analytics Workspace and Automation account.

If this fails to work, please comment down below with any error messages you received from the portal or the VM itself after running cmdlets.
