Entra PowerShell vs Graph PowerShell
summary
Entra PowerShell is GA and focused on Entra ID as a next‑gen replacement for AzureAD, built as human‑written advanced functions that expose about 350 cmdlets in stable and ship improved help and pipeline support; Microsoft Graph PowerShell is an autogenerated SDK with broader Microsoft 365 coverage and monthly releases but recent versioning instability (226 removed, 226.1 fixed, many users pinned to 225). Entra proxies authentication to Connect‑MGGraph, fixes many Graph ergonomics (default outputs, unwrapping relationships, service‑principal quirks) and recommends running in an isolated container to avoid module DLL/version conflicts.
