Move the resources from the old resource group to the new one
- Open the old resource group, and click the first resource
- Click the move link next to the old resource group name
- Select the new resource group from the list

- If the resource can be moved, click the Next button at the bottom of the page
- Select the checkbox and click the Move button
- To monitor the progress of the move click the Notifications icon. The source and destination resource groups are locked during the move, so only one move can be processed at a time.
- As the resource has been moved, the refresh button cannot display the new parent information. Go back to the Resource Group list and select the old resource group again top move the rest of the resources.
