Learn How to Install Microsoft Graph PowerShell

If you want to know how to install Microsoft Graph PowerShell, you are in the right place.

Managing Microsoft 365 services like Exchange Online, Teams, and SharePoint has become much easier with the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK.

Instead of juggling multiple modules, you can use a single set of commands to work across all Microsoft 365 workloads.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to install Microsoft Graph PowerShell using PowerShell 7.5

Why Microsoft Graph PowerShell?

Traditionally, admins used separate modules such as MSOnline, AzureAD, and ExchangeOnlineManagement.

Many of these are now deprecated or limited. Microsoft Graph PowerShell provides:

• A single unified module for managing Microsoft 365.
• Support for modern authentication (OAuth 2.0).
• Regular updates with new APIs.
• Cross-platform support (Windows, Linux, macOS)

Prerequisites for Microsoft Graph

You should have a minimum of PowerShell 5.1 and .NET Framework 4.2.7

It would be better if you use PowerShell 7.5 to install Microsoft Graph

To check the current PowerShell Version

$PSVersionTable.PSVersion

Steps for How to Install Microsoft Graph PowerShell

First of all, let’s update the PowerShellGet to the latest version using the command

Install-Module PowerShellGet

Now set the execution policy to the remotesigned

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned –Force

Once you set that, install the Microsoft Graph Module by running the following cmdlet

Install-Module Microsoft.Graph -Scope AllUsers

Note: -Scope AllUsers installs it for everyone on the machine.

Also, you can run it without a scope by using the command

 Install-Module Microsoft.Graph -Force

You may be prompted to install the NuGet provider and trust the repository (PSGallery) – type Y to continue.

Therefore, to install the beta module, run the following cmdlet

Install-Module Microsoft.Graph.Beta -Repository PSGallery -Force

Now, verify the installation after it is completed by running the following cmdlet

Get-InstalledModule Microsoft.Graph

You can now connect with Microsoft Graph

Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "User.Read.All","Group.ReadWrite.All"

Or

Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "User.Read.All"

Other Useful Commands to check the Users & Disconnect

Check the users by using the following cmdlet

Get-MgUser

Therefore, to update the Microsoft Graph

Update-Module Microsoft.Graph

To disconnect from Microsoft Graph, run the following cmdlet

Disconnect-MgGraph

However, if you want to uninstall the SDK, run the following command

Uninstall-Module Microsoft.Graph –AllVersions

Therefore, to remove all the dependency modules, run the following cmdlet.

Get-InstalledModule Microsoft.Graph.* | ? Name -ne "Microsoft.Graph.Authentication" | Uninstall-Module -AllVersions

Uninstall-Module Microsoft.Graph.Authentication –AllVersions

Final Thought

Installing and using Microsoft Graph PowerShell is straightforward and sets you up for modern, secure, and centralized Microsoft 365 management.

Whether you’re working with Exchange, Teams, or SharePoint, this single module gives you the power to automate and manage tasks with ease.
