Syntax

Move-AzureRmResource
    -DestinationResourceGroupName <String>
    [-DestinationSubscriptionId <Guid>]
    -ResourceId <String[]>
    [-Force]
    [-ApiVersion <String>]
    [-Pre]

    [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Move-AzureRmResource cmdlet moves existing resources to a different resource group. That resource group can be in a different subscription.

Examples

Example 1: Move a resource to a resource group

PS C:\>$Resource = Get-AzureRmResource -ResourceType "Microsoft.ClassicCompute/storageAccounts" -ResourceName "ContosoStorageAccount"
PS C:\> Move-AzureRmResource -ResourceId $Resource.ResourceId -DestinationResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup14"

The first command gets a resource named ContosoStorageAccount by using the Get-AzureRmResource cmdlet, and then stores that resource in the $Resource variable. The second command moves that resource into the resource group named ResourceGroup14. The command identifies the resource to move by using the ResourceId property of $Resource.
