Managed identities are specific to the Azure AD tenant where your Azure subscription is hosted. They don't get updated if a subscription gets moved to a different directory. If a subscription gets moved, you'll need to recreate and configure the identities.

For system-assigned managed identities, you can disable and re-enable them after the subscription is moved to another directory. This will recreate the managed identity in the new directory.

For user-assigned managed identities, you will need to delete and recreate them in the new directory. You will also need to update any resources that were using the old managed identity to use the new one.

Please note that moving resources between subscriptions may incur additional costs and may require additional configuration.
