azure - Resource move is not supported for resource types 'microsoft.visualstudioaccount' - Stack Overflow

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'.

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.

• AFAIK, moving the Azure Devops Org is not posisble. – Harshitha Commented Feb 4 at 5:33
• @Harshitha Then, How to make it under one resource group? – Yohanes AI Commented Feb 4 at 10:06
• The resource group containing the Azure DevOps organization resource is generated by the operation to setup billing for an Azure DevOps organization. It has its own naming convention and cannot be moved between resource groups. Hope the information from the link in my answer below may resolve your concern in this post. Cheers. – Alvin Zhao Commented Feb 5 at 1:55
