Applies to: SQL Server Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance Azure Synapse Analytics Analytics Platform System (PDW)

This article describes how to organize the servers in Registered Servers by moving a registered server or server group. A server group can contain registered servers, or other server groups. Both servers and server groups can be moved from one server group to another.

If the Registered Servers tool window isn't visible in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), select View > Registered Servers, or type Ctrl + Alt + G.

Move a registered server or server group

  1. Within Local Server Groups or Central Management Servers, find the registered server or server group to move.

  2. Right-click on the server or server group, and then select Tasks > Move To....

  3. In the Move Server Registration dialog box, expand the list of server groups, select the node where you want the server or server group to exist, and then select OK.
