Resource move is not supported for resource types 'microsoft.visualstudio/account'

Question

I wanted to move Azure DevOps organization from one resource group to another in the same subscription with no luck. I have tried to use the Azure Portal but when Validating I got this error as below:

{"message":"The resource batch move request has '1' validation errors. Diagnostic information: timestamp '20250204T043549Z', tracking Id '66ac357f-6113-4d95-94fa-***', request correlation Id '1d63a451-5a52-4fe8-9271-***'. (Code: ResourceMoveValidationFailed) Resource move is not supported for resource types 'microsoft.visualstudio/account'. (Code: ResourceMoveNotSupported, Target: /subscriptions/67a0a782-8d70-*****/resourceGroups/VisualStudioOnline-8D5009F982D3470584937***0/providers/microsoft.visualstudio/account/***-devops-main-apac-***)","code":"ResourceMoveValidationFailed","name":"***-4e30-4d7a-973a-ca8794bd701e","status":400}

Update: I have tried to use Azure CLI but with the same error respond.

az resource invoke-action --action validateMoveResources --ids "/subscriptions/67a0a782-8d70-4bbd-a9d9-***/resourceGroups/VisualStudioOnline-***" --request-body '{ "resources": ["/subscriptions/67a0a782-8d70-4bbd-a9d9-***/resourceGroups/VisualStudioOnline-***/providers/microsoft.visualstudio/account/***-devops-main-apac-101"], "targetResourceGroup": "/subscriptions/67a0a782-8d70-4bbd-a9d9-***/resourceGroups/***-rg-main-sea-101" }' 

Anyone has faced the same issue here? Please any advice. Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Azure DevOps organization is not tied to specific subscription. It is tied to Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD). Those resources are your licensee (billing) you can change your billing via Change your billing subscription if it is in the same org.

Keep in mind that Azure DevOps is not supported on the Q&A forum but as somehow this relates a little bit to Azure help is provided.
