I would rename Connect-Graph to Connect-MgService. This makes a bit more sense than Connect-MgGraph (Connect Microsoft Graph Graph?) and Connect-MgAccount since we're connecting to the Microsoft Graph service and not a reference to an account.

Plus it would be like the SPO cmdlets and hopefully would start a movement to get other services to adopt the same format :-)

@tseward Thanks for your input. I shopped the "service" suffix around a bit and the feedback is that the term is a bit overloaded and it conflicts with some of the other work that is going on. There wasn't much enthusiasm for the Account suffix and there wasn't much objection to Connect-MgGraph. So for the moment, we are planning to go with Connect-MgGraph and alias Connect-Graph so that we don't break existing folks.

On my work machine I have a number of Connect-* commandlets. Here are a few:

• Connect-AzureAD <-- only the module prefix of "AzureAD"
• Connect-SPOService <-- prefix + "Service", already mentioned above
• Connect-AzAccount <-- prefix + "Account", not really notion of Account in Graph
• Connect-PnPOnline <-- prefix + "Online", to distinguish from on-prem SharePoint
• Connect-ExchangeOnline <-- not the prefix nor an alias, module then uses "EXO" as prefix

Using the prefix + something seems to be the norm (at least for MSFT created modules). I would be in favor of these:

• Connect-Mg with alias to Connect-Graph
• Connect-MgGraph with alias Connect-Graph

support for interactive credential by default on windows.
