The Microsoft Entra PowerShell module is also available, offering over 90% parity with Azure AD PowerShell. To help with migration, see the cmdlet map of MSOnline and Azure AD PowerShell cmdlets to Microsoft Entra PowerShell..

What is Microsoft doing to improve the Microsoft Graph PowerShell user experience?

Microsoft Graph PowerShell cmdlets are created automatically from the API schema and are always up to date. However, they might not be as easy to use as they're autogenerated.

We have built Microsoft Entra PowerShell to provide a more user-friendly experience, with cmdlets that are easier to use and understand. Microsoft Entra PowerShell is built on top of Microsoft Graph PowerShell, is fully operable with Microsoft Graph PowerShell, enabling you to perform complex operations with simple, well-documented cmdlets.

Microsoft has invested significant effort into the Microsoft Graph PowerShell and Microsoft Entra PowerShell modules to provide feature parity with the retiring Azure AD and MSOnline modules. These modules are regularly updated to address gaps and improve the migration experience.
