I have to move a single resource group from one subscription to another.
The 2 subscriptions are within the same EntraID tenant and on the same region.
This is error I get while validating resources:
{
"message": "Resource move validation failed. Please see details.

If I check for resource move compatibility I see that "publicIPAddresses" is supported and I already done this move operation for the same resource group last year with success

Hello Andrea Giordano
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,
The error message (Code: CannotMoveResource, Target: Microsoft.Network/publicIPAddresses) it indicates that the move operation failed because the Public IP resource cannot be moved in its current state.
Please follow these steps and let us know if you encounter any errors.

Hi Manesh, thanks for this step-by-step.
There are 4 VM I have to move; the one I tested was already in "stopped/deallocated" state.
If I disassociate public IP I think I'll loose connectivity from/to involved VM, right?
Should VM also be in stopped state or I can do disassociate while VM is running?
