Hi Ramasamy Balasubramanian,

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

Would you mind looking over these steps? They could be of assistance to you.

1. Make sure the new network setup (VNET and subnet) is correct and that you’re able to access the VM through Remote Desktop.
2. Sometimes, the VM might lose its connection to the domain after such changes. Try removing it from the domain and then rejoining it.
3. Ensure that the VM’s new IP address is updated in your domain’s DNS. This helps the domain controller recognize the VM.
4. If you can’t log in with your domain account, try using the local admin account. If that doesn’t work, you might need to reset the local admin password via the Azure portal.

Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.
