Hi Team,

I am looking for some guidance to know the best approach to migration Azure VM and other resources from one tenant to another tenant (we can consider a situation where company has been acquired or getting separated), what are the possible options and what is the recommended approach. any information or guidance is appreciated.

Hello @Gautam Gulati Thank you for contacting us on Microsoft Q&A platform. Happy to answer any questions you may have!

I understand that you want to migrate your Azure resources from one tenant to another tenant. There is no direct way to move the resources across tenants.

Copying a response from an earlier discussion where our MVP has answered this question in detail.

You can transfer an entire subscription to another tenant (if it is not a CSP subscription) so an option here is to first move the resource group to another subscription first (a temporary subscription perhaps) https://free.blessedness.top/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/move-resource-group-and-subscription and then move this subscription to the new tenant - https://free.blessedness.top/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/transfer-subscription

This is usually the easiest way assuming your resource types support a tenant/subscription move at all.

@SadiqhAhmed-MSFT Thanks for the reply above. Does the csp subscription exclusion apply for the target sub or the source sub? Or both? That is, will the subscription move across tenants not work if we are moving a csp sub to a non -csp sub? Or a non-csp sub to a csp sub? We are looking to move a non-csp sub to a csp sub across tenants. Many thanks for the clarification.
