Hi @SteveMutungi254, Upon checking the issue with Set-AzureADMSGroup, it appears that the error Set-EntraMSGroup : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'MembershipRuleProcessingState' is occurring because the MembershipRuleProcessingState parameter is not available in the GA 1.0 cmdlet. However, it is present in the Preview/Beta cmdlet Set-EntraBetaMSGroup.

[SteveMutungi254]

@rtintor: Given that Set-AzureADMSGroup is a GA cmdlet, is there something we can do to ensure compatibility? Even though pointing to 'beta' resources is a bad design, but I am tempted to go with coverage as a higher goal by pointing GA cmdlet to beta backend. cc: @v-akarke

We need to ask the workload team to fix it instead of making a hack in our side.

-MembershipRuleProcessingState is now supported.
