0:00:03.440000 --> 0:00:07.520000
 Transfering Azure subscriptions between
 Azure AD tenants is one of those

0:00:07.520000 --> 0:00:12.980000
 topics that I feel like is not something
 that really you're going to run

0:00:12.980000 --> 0:00:13.920000
 into a whole lot.

0:00:13.920000 --> 0:00:17.280000
 It's not a big deal and it's not a big
 deal in terms of complexity, but

0:00:17.280000 --> 0:00:21.260000
 I do find myself personally
 doing it fairly often.

0:00:21.260000 --> 0:00:24.320000
 The idea is that you've
 got multiple tenants.

0:00:24.320000 --> 0:00:28.120000
 Maybe I've got a development tenant
 that I use for my devs and I've got

0:00:28.120000 --> 0:00:29.720000
 a subscription associated
 with that.

0:00:29.720000 --> 0:00:34.200000
 And now we have a reorg and I need
 that associated with somebody else.

0:00:34.200000 --> 0:00:41.860000
 Or maybe our billing management has changed
 and so I need to move a subscription

0:00:41.860000 --> 0:00:45.060000
 from one billing account
 to another.

0:00:45.060000 --> 0:00:48.480000
 Now one thing I will tell you is that
 the process, particularly for moving

0:00:48.480000 --> 0:00:53.580000
 boot, for moving billing accounts is
 different if you have an enterprise

0:00:53.580000 --> 0:01:01.320000
 configuration. So an EA enterprise
 license for your Azure environment.

0:01:01.320000 --> 0:01:03.660000
 So let's go ahead and talk about
 what we are going to talk about.

0:01:03.660000 --> 0:01:09.320000
 So really brief video, in fact probably
 I'll spend less time going through

0:01:09.320000 --> 0:01:13.020000
 the video than I did right
 now explaining the video.

0:01:13.020000 --> 0:01:16.940000
 But we're going to take a look at transferring
 subscriptions and then

0:01:16.940000 --> 0:01:21.180000
 I'm going to demonstrate transferring
 a subscription.

0:01:21.180000 --> 0:01:25.140000
 So two ways, two different things
 that you can transfer.

0:01:25.140000 --> 0:01:30.100000
 The first is transferring
 the billing ownership.

0:01:30.100000 --> 0:01:33.340000
 So who is going to be financially
 responsible?

0:01:33.340000 --> 0:01:39.820000
 Who is going to be the really
 owner of the subscription?

0:01:39.820000 --> 0:01:41.960000
 We'll always have full rights.

0:01:41.960000 --> 0:01:43.860000
 And the process is pretty simple.

0:01:43.860000 --> 0:01:49.300000
 You click transfer billing ownership,
 you put in the email address, the

0:01:49.300000 --> 0:01:51.540000
 idea of who you want
 to transfer it to.

0:01:51.540000 --> 0:01:56.580000
 And then that individual will get a
 message and they have to accept the

0:01:56.580000 --> 0:01:58.860000
 transfer. It's a very straightforward
 process.

0:01:58.860000 --> 0:02:02.300000
 I've done that on multiple
 occasions.

0:02:02.300000 --> 0:02:06.660000
 And then the other option is to actually
 transfer between tenants.

0:02:06.660000 --> 0:02:10.040000
 And that's why I'm going to show you
 the option was actually on the screen

0:02:10.040000 --> 0:02:11.120000
 I just showed you.

0:02:11.120000 --> 0:02:16.160000
 But this is probably the more
 common of the two activities.

0:02:16.160000 --> 0:02:18.980000
 And there are some things that
 you need to know about it.

0:02:18.980000 --> 0:02:22.320000
 First of all, when I take a subscription,
 and this kind of makes sense

0:02:22.320000 --> 0:02:25.100000
 if you think about it, if I take a
 subscription and I move it from one

0:02:25.100000 --> 0:02:30.800000
 tenant to another, that's going to
 wipe out any RBAC assignments.

0:02:30.800000 --> 0:02:39.320000
 So the GA in the target subscription or
 the target tenant can grant themselves

0:02:39.320000 --> 0:02:41.620000
 rights to then grant everybody
 else rights.

0:02:41.620000 --> 0:02:46.040000
 Also you as a person shifting the subscription
 will also have rights.

0:02:46.040000 --> 0:02:51.720000
 Any service administrators or
 co-administrators are removed.

0:02:51.720000 --> 0:02:54.620000
 Key Vault access fully removed.

0:02:54.620000 --> 0:02:56.860000
 Again, makes sense, right?

0:02:56.860000 --> 0:03:01.460000
 Managed identities are broken because
 the managed identities, even though

0:03:01.460000 --> 0:03:06.020000
 you set them up at the resource level,
 they're actually managed in Active

0:03:06.020000 --> 0:03:07.440000
 Director in Azure AD.

0:03:07.440000 --> 0:03:13.700000
 You would have to go and repair or
 redefine your managed identities.

0:03:13.700000 --> 0:03:18.840000
 And if you've got Azure Stack locally
 associated with your subscription,

0:03:18.840000 --> 0:03:22.880000
 you're going to have to then
 re-register Azure Stack.

0:03:22.880000 --> 0:03:28.500000
 So there are a number of steps beyond
 simply transferring a subscription

0:03:28.500000 --> 0:03:30.140000
 that you need to be aware of.

0:03:30.140000 --> 0:03:31.660000
 And those are really
 those key factors.

0:03:31.660000 --> 0:03:39.460000
 So, with that said, let's just go ahead
 and take a look at a demonstration.

0:03:39.460000 --> 0:03:43.220000
 So in this demonstration, I'm going
 to do exactly what it sounds like.

0:03:43.220000 --> 0:03:47.280000
 I am going to transfer
 a subscription.

0:03:47.280000 --> 0:03:52.320000
 Okay. I'm logged in
 to my dashboard.

0:03:52.320000 --> 0:04:00.340000
 And what I'm going to do is I'm
 going to go to my subscriptions.

0:04:00.340000 --> 0:04:03.400000
 And I've got three different
 subscriptions.

0:04:03.400000 --> 0:04:07.320000
 All of these subscriptions are associated
 with the current tenant that

0:04:07.320000 --> 0:04:11.100000
 I'm logged into, which
 is I-NE demo tenant.

0:04:11.100000 --> 0:04:12.380000
 I'm going to take one of these.

0:04:12.380000 --> 0:04:15.480000
 I'm going to take the
 I-NE development.

0:04:15.480000 --> 0:04:18.280000
 I'm going to click on that.

0:04:18.280000 --> 0:04:22.540000
 And I am simply going
 to change directory.

0:04:22.540000 --> 0:04:26.380000
 So I'm going to change directory.

0:04:26.380000 --> 0:04:29.100000
 So, okay, what directory
 do you want to use?

0:04:29.100000 --> 0:04:36.780000
 And I'm going to go to my I-NE May 2020
 directory and simply accept that

0:04:36.780000 --> 0:04:42.260000
 change. Okay. So now that
 directory has changed.

0:04:42.260000 --> 0:04:43.920000
 Now it does take a few minutes.

0:04:43.920000 --> 0:04:46.160000
 Sometimes it will happen
 really quickly.

0:04:46.160000 --> 0:04:51.920000
 Okay. Let's see if I just kind of go
 back to my dashboard and then go

0:04:51.920000 --> 0:04:52.940000
 back to subscriptions.

0:04:52.940000 --> 0:04:55.780000
 It's still showing up there.

0:04:55.780000 --> 0:05:01.280000
 But in order to really interact with
 it, I'm going to have to go to the

0:05:01.280000 --> 0:05:09.120000
 I-NE May 2020, which is just the tenant
 that I switched that subscription

0:05:09.120000 --> 0:05:13.920000
 to. And then under subscriptions,
 I'm going to go in here.

0:05:13.920000 --> 0:05:18.900000
 All right. Now it's telling me I don't
 have any entries matching the filter.

0:05:18.900000 --> 0:05:23.760000
 And it says show only subscription selected
 in the global subscriptions

0:05:23.760000 --> 0:05:28.660000
 filter. If I uncheck that, now
 there is I-NE development.

0:05:28.660000 --> 0:05:34.180000
 So I am now in my I
-NE May 2020 tenant.

0:05:34.180000 --> 0:05:39.240000
 And I now have the subscription I-NE
 development associated with this

0:05:39.240000 --> 0:05:45.740000
 tenant. And that is really all there
 is to a transfer from one tenant

0:05:45.740000 --> 0:05:47.220000
 to another tenant.

0:05:47.220000 --> 0:05:52.160000
 Do keep in mind that you're breaking
 many things under the hood.

0:05:52.160000 --> 0:05:57.000000
 My managed services, my roles in particular,
 my managed identities, excuse

0:05:57.000000 --> 0:05:59.660000
 me, and my roles, amongst
 other things.

0:05:59.660000 --> 0:06:05.780000
 So that is the transfer of a subscription
 from one tenant to another.
