"Microsoft.Graph.Authentication being installed is not catalog signed" error

[zrivkis]

Describe the bug
When updating Microsoft.Graph modules receiving the following error:
Install-Package: The version '1.28.0' of the module 'Microsoft.Graph.Authentication' being installed is not catalog signed. Ensure that the version '1.28.0' of the module 'Microsoft.Graph.Authentication' has the catalog file 'Microsoft.Graph.Authentication.cat' and signed with the same publisher 'CN=Microsoft Corporation, O=Microsoft Corporation, L=Redmond, S=Washington, C=US' as the previously-installed module 'Microsoft.Graph.Authentication' with version '2.8.0' under the directory ...\PowerShell\Modules\Microsoft.Graph.Authentication\2.8.0'. If you still want to install or update, use -SkipPublisherCheck parameter.

To Reproduce
Execute "Get-InstalledModule Microsoft.Graph.Financials | Update-Module"
Execute "Get-InstalledModule Microsoft.Graph.WindowsUpdates | Update-Module"
Execute "Get-InstalledModule Microsoft.Graph.ManagedTenants | Update-Module"

Expected behavior
Successful update to the module without errors or having to specify -SkipPublisherCheck parameter

This is to be expected when installing a version that isn't signed:

• 'Microsoft.Graph.Authentication v1.28.0 was not signed.
• 'Microsoft.Graph.Authentication v2.8.0 (the latest version) is signed.

Please follow the upgrade instructions at when upgrading from v1.x to v2.x - https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-sdk-powershell/#1-installation:

Run Install-Module with -AllowClobber and -Force parameters if you run into command name conflicts when upgrading to older versions of the module. This may be the case when upgrading from v1.x to v2.x:

Install-Module Microsoft.Graph -AllowClobber -Force

I tried running the updates as recommended in the link, however, the issue still persists. Is this unique to the 3 modules specified? Thanks in advance.

The error is due to the module rename breaking change that's mentioned in the v2.x upgrade guide at https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-sdk-powershell/blob/dev/docs/upgrade-to-v2.md#profile-support. In v2.x, the modules are now divided based on the API version (v1.0 and beta). Microsoft.Graph.Financials is a beta only module that got renamed to Microsoft.Graph.Beta.Financials in v2.x. Attempts to update/install Microsoft.Graph.Financials (non-beta) will install the 1.x version thus the error.

To avoid the error, please install the complete v1.0 and/or beta (non-production use only) versions of the SDK by following the instructions at https://learn.microsoft.com/powershell/microsoftgraph/installation?view=graph-powershell-1.0#installation. Alternatively, you can individually install the beta modules via Install-Module Microsoft.Graph.Beta.Financials -AllowClobber -Force. See dependencies section of the modules at https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Microsoft.Graph/2.8.0 and https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Microsoft.Graph.Beta/2.8.0 for more details.
