Answer 1

The error message you received indicates that resource move is not supported for the resource type 'Microsoft.ManagedIdentity/userAssignedIdentities'. This means that you cannot move the Managed Identity resource between subscriptions. You will need to remove the Managed Identity from the existing subscription, move the other resources, and then add the Managed Identity to the new subscription.

Moving resources between subscriptions can be complex and there are several factors to consider. Please refer to the Microsoft documentation on Move Azure resources to a new resource group or subscription for more information on how to move resources and troubleshoot common issues.
