You have an Azure subscription. You configure the subscription to use a different Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant. What are two possible…

When an Azure subscription is transferred to a different Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant, all identity and access management configurations tied to the original tenant are affected. Azure role-based access control (RBAC) assignments are linked to principals (users, groups, service principals) in the source tenant; these assignments are permanently deleted and not moved to the new tenant. Similarly, managed identities for Azure resources are service principals in the source tenant. When the subscription moves, these identities are broken and must be re-enabled or recreated in the new tenant. The underlying Azure resources themselves are not deleted during this process.

C. Virtual machine disk snapshots are lost.

This is incorrect. Virtual machine disk snapshots are Azure resources within the subscription and are not deleted when the associated Azure AD tenant is changed.

D. Existing Azure resources are deleted.

This is incorrect. The process of changing the tenant for a subscription is an identity management operation; it does not delete the existing Azure resources like virtual machines or storage accounts.

1. Microsoft Learn. (2023). Transfer an Azure subscription to a different Azure AD directory.

Section: Understand the impact of transferring a subscription: "When you transfer a subscription to a different Azure AD directory... Azure role assignments are permanently deleted from the source directory and aren't transferred to the target directory." This directly supports answer A.

Section: Understand the impact of transferring a subscription: "Managed identities for Azure resources are not updated when a subscription is transferred to another directory. As a result

any existing system-assigned or user-assigned managed identities are broken. After the transfer

you can reenable the managed identities." This directly supports answer B.

Section: Overview: The document explains the process is to associate the subscription with a new directory

not to delete its contents

which refutes options C and D.
