Exam AZ-104 topic 5 question 13 discussion

Tested this in an identical lab: 1. YES. I was able to move the storage from RG1 to RG2, however it stayed in the West US region. 2. YES. I was able to move NIC1 from RG1 to RG2 which was associated with VM1 and VNET1 subnet1, however it stayed in the West US region. 3. NO. The location of IP2 did not change. However I was able to move LP2 from RG2 to RG1 as it isn't associated with any other resource, however it stayed in the East US region. All resources moved to the new resource groups, but the region did not change

Correct Answer: Box 1: Yes You can move the Storage Account to RG2, however it stayed in the West US region. You cannot change the Region, you need to recreate the Storage Account. Box 2: Yes You can move move NIC1 to RG2 which was associated with VM1 and VNET1 subnet1, however it stayed in the West US region. You can move a NIC to a different RG or Subscription by selecting (change) next to the RG or Subscription name. If you move the NIC to a new Subscription, you must move all resources related to the NIC with it. If the network interface is attached to a virtual machine, for example, you must also move the virtual machine, and other virtual machine-related resources. Box 3: No You can move IP2 to RG1, as it isn't associated with any other resource, however it stayed in the East US region. The location will not change.

WRONG Yes Yes No

Yes Yes No

Y/Y/N When moving NIC to different RG, you only move NIC's meta-data location, not NIC itself. NIC remains in same location where VM is located.

we need to know if the public IP is a standard or a basic one. Standard IP will blocked RDP if now NSG on NIC.

Y Y N is correct!

Literally just tested this albeit backwards. RG1 - US East RG2 - US West Created Linux VM in RG1 My VM is up and running with the auto-created NIC attached, all in RG1. Validating....Taking awhile. This really does take awhile. It moved to the US West located RG2 without turning off or decommissioning the VM. The location of the NIC is in US East still. The correct answer is YYN.

YYN You can move move NIC1 to RG2 which was associated with VM1 and VNET1 subnet1, however it stayed in the West US region. You can move a NIC to a different RG or Subscription by selecting (change) next to the RG or Subscription name. If you move the NIC to a new Subscription, you must move all resources related to the NIC with it. If the network interface is attached to a virtual machine, for example, you must also move the virtual machine, and other virtual machine-related resources.

Y-Y-N This is my test result.

Answer Y-Y-N

I know many of you have tested moving the NIC to a different RG, but, is it a supported configuration ?

1. YES - 2. YES - I tested it personally. It will work, although you will have to update your scripts (if you have any associated with the moved NIC) to use the new NIC's resourceID, as this one will change also. 3. NO

Yes No - You can move HDInsight clusters to a new subscription or resource group. However, you can't move across subscriptions the networking resources linked to the HDInsight cluster (such as the virtual network, NIC, or load balancer). In addition, you can't move to a new resource group a NIC that is attached to a virtual machine for the cluster. No

You can't just move the NIC, it's part of the VM.
