Subscription Subscription
Most huge customers and partners have several EA and CSP contracts
It’s quite hard to find out the administrators by Microsoft-self

23. #1 Types of Authentication Credentials (2/2)
• Bad practice for Microsoft account #1
• A customer assign a Microsoft Account as Owner role into subscriptions
• The Microsoft Account owner left the company with MFA setting
• No one couldn’t touch the subscriptions
• Bad practice for Microsoft account #2
• A customer assign a Microsoft Account as Owner role into subscriptions
• The user has never logged in more than two years
• The service has failed because of Microsoft account activity policy
• Bad practice for Microsoft account #3
• A customer create a Microsoft account with their corporate ID ex. xxxx@my_company.com
• We can’t create such Microsoft account now…
• The customer had utilized the corporate ID Microsoft account, but it made seriously confusion
to distinguish “School or Work Account” and “Microsoft Account”

31. 1. Associate source EA subscriptions and destination CSP subscriptions into
same AAD(Azure Active Directory) tenant
2. Perform migration assessment for using Azure resources
3. Upgrade Azure classic deployment model to ARM(Azure Resource
Manager) if subscriptions are using Azure classic deployment model
4. Move resources from EA subscription into CSP subscription
EA to CSP migration steps
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-solution-provider/migration/migration-from-ea-to-csp
32. • All subscriptions must be associated into an AAD tenant
• Change AAD tenant if it’s different between Partners and customers
• Invite operation user accounts into the AAD tenant
#1. Associate EA and CSP subscriptions into same AAD tenant
33. 1. Create Azure resources list of the subscriptions based on usage csv files
2. Confirm availability of the resources to move into CSP
• Available Azure services in Azure CSP https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-solution-
provider/overview/azure-csp-available-services
• Services that can be moved https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/resource-
group-move-resources#services-that-can-be-moved
• Ex. Azure AD B2C isn’t available in CSP
• Ex. CSP supports VPN Gateway but you need to redeploy because VPN Gateway can’t be moved
• Classic Virtual machines and classic virtual network can’t migrate directly, and you need to recreate the
resources as ARM(Azure Service Manager). “Classic” means “Azure Service Manager” and please refer to an
article below if you’re not familiar with it.
• https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/resource-manager-deployment-model
• Many of Azure Marketplace resources can’t migrate directly. There are few exceptions such like “Red Hat” and
others, but please confirm them.

3. Make your “EA to CSP migration plan”
#2. Perform migration assessment for using Azure resources
34. • If customers is still using resources that they created by using the Azure
classic deployment model, the resources must be transferred to the Azure
Resource Manager model before you move them to Azure CSP
• You need to follow steps below
• Platform-supported migration of IaaS resources from classic to Azure Resource Manager
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-solution-provider/migration/ea-payg-to-azure-csp/ea-open-
direct-assessment
• Planning for migration of IaaS resources from classic to Azure Resource Manager

• Need two steps to enable subscriptions visible for other
organization users
1. Invite users into your Azure AD tenant
2. Assign a role into the user account
*This two steps are mandatory to access other AAD tenants subscriptions
