| Dave,
Thank you very much for spending your valuable time to find out the answer.
If we can not move servers between AG in Native mode, what other option we
have to consolidate all this sites in to one AG. As I informed earlier I
would like to keep administration centralized by implementing on AG and one
routing group for each geographical location so that I can optimize the
replication traffic.
Is any third party tool there to do this or what is the simplest way
Microsoft suggest.
Thanks. John
