I am trying to enforce some naming standards in my AD Groups however it appears with the new AZ module there is no Update or Set AzADGroup Only Get/New/Remove.

Is my only option to leverage the older AzureRM? i was under the assumption AzureRM is to be phased out with AZ Module having feature parity???

Are there any other options?? I also noticed that AzureCLI does not appear to have he option to change the displayName of AD groups.

    @Michael Cho
    Thank you for your post!

    When it comes to the Set-AzureADGroup command, you should be able to change a group name by using the -DisplayName parameter. 

    #After running this it took about 1minute for the name to update  
Set-AzureADGroup -ObjectId "groupObjectID" -DisplayName "changeGroupNameTest"
