Azure Key Vault Issue while moving resources to cross subscription:

Question : I am trying to move the resources into cross subscription but getting this error.

“The move resources request contains KeyVault resources which are referenced by one of more VMs in the request. This is not supported currently in cross subscription move. “

Ans: Actually, this is BUG, when normally you migrate workloads from ASM to ARM portal key vault will get created, and attached to the VMs, even though you are not using Key Vault or nothing is there in vault, it is linked to your VMs. Or if you using any key vault, which is not supported cross subscription movement. But while moving even though you leave key vault and try to move, it will show same error coz of dependencies.

Solution: Run the below commands @ PowerShell to remove the linking between your VMs and Key Vault.

$RGName = "Your Resource Group Name"

$vmName = "Your VM Name"

$vm = Get-AzureRmVM -ResourceGroupName $RGName -Name $vmName

$vm.OSProfile.Secrets = New-Object -TypeName "System.Collections.Generic.List[Microsoft.Azure.Management.Compute.Models.VaultSecretGroup]"

Update-AzureRmVM -ResourceGroupName $RGName -VM $vm

Note: You must run above command for each of your VM then only you can able to Move the resources.
