Type              : /providers/Microsoft.Management/managementGroups
Name              : TestGroup
TenantId          : 00001111-aaaa-2222-bbbb-3333cccc4444

UpdatedBy         : 00001111-aaaa-2222-bbbb-3333cccc4444
ParentId          : /providers/Microsoft.Management/managementGroups/00001111-aaaa-2222-bbbb-3333cccc4444
ParentName        : 00001111-aaaa-2222-bbbb-3333cccc4444
ParentDisplayName : 00001111-aaaa-2222-bbbb-3333cccc4444

Creation of a new group with DisplayName and ParentId set to null. The DisplayName will be same as the GroupName and the parent of the group will be the tenant.

Example 2: Create a Management Group with a display name

New-AzManagementGroup -GroupName "TestGroup" -DisplayName "TestGroupDisplayName"

Id                : /providers/Microsoft.Management/managementGroups/TestGroup
Type              : /providers/Microsoft.Management/managementGroups
Name              : TestGroup
TenantId          : 00001111-aaaa-2222-bbbb-3333cccc4444
DisplayName       : TestGroup
UpdatedTime       : 2/1/2018 11:06:27 AM
UpdatedBy         : 00001111-aaaa-2222-bbbb-3333cccc4444
ParentId          : /providers/Microsoft.Management/managementGroups/00001111-aaaa-2222-bbbb-3333cccc4444
ParentName        : 00001111-aaaa-2222-bbbb-3333cccc4444
ParentDisplayName : 00001111-aaaa-2222-bbbb-3333cccc4444

In this case, the parent of the group will be the tenant and the DisplayName will be set to the value given.

Example 3: Create a Management Group with a parent and a display name

New-AzManagementGroup -GroupName "TestGroup" -DisplayName "TestGroupDisplayName" -ParentId "/providers/Microsoft.Management/managementGroups/TestGroupParent"

Id                : /providers/Microsoft.Management/managementGroups/TestGroup
Type              : /providers/Microsoft.Management/managementGroups
Name              : TestGroup
TenantId          : 00001111-aaaa-2222-bbbb-3333cccc4444

UpdatedTime       : 2/1/2018 11:16:12 AM
UpdatedBy         : 00001111-aaaa-2222-bbbb-3333cccc4444
ParentId          : /providers/Microsoft.Management/managementGroups/TestGroupParent
ParentName        : TestGroupParent
ParentDisplayName : TestGroupParent
