Movement of resources from one Azure subscription in one AD to another subscription in another AD

Question

Hi,

Could you please let me know what all resources can be moved from Source Azure subscription to another subscription. I know we cannot do it using Azure migrate.

Source subscription is in one AD and Target subscription is in another AD.

Below are the list of resources configured in Source subscription. Could you please let me know

1. What resources can be moved?
2. What resources cannot be moved?
3. What are the configurations required to be done after moving?
4. What are the pre-requisites to be checked before the movement?

How do we determine if any of the services is creating an application object?

Also, please suggest any step by step documentation guide for the same.

Answer 1

@VJ-8370 To move Azure Resources one of the pre-requisite item is " The source and destination subscriptions must exist within the same Azure Active Directory tenant" , this has been also called out in this documentation. To check that both source and destination subscriptions have the same tenant ID, use can Azure PowerShell or Azure CLI.

For Azure PowerShell, use:

 (Get-AzSubscription -SubscriptionName <your-source-subscription>).TenantId
 (Get-AzSubscription -SubscriptionName <your-destination-subscription>).TenantId

For CLI , use:

 az account show --subscription <your-source-subscription> --query tenantId
 az account show --subscription <your-destination-subscription> --query tenantId

If the tenant IDs for the source and destination subscriptions aren't the same, use the following methods to reconcile the tenant IDs (provided it fits your scenario) :

• Transfer ownership of an Azure subscription to another account
• How to associate or add an Azure subscription to Azure Active Directory

For further information on moving Azure resource including checklist, list of resources which can be moved and different methods associated , please review this document.

Hope the above information , please review and revert back if you have any further queries. Thank you
