For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.

-Name

Specifies one or more reg servers to move. Name is the visible name in SSMS CMS interface (labeled Registered Server Name)

-ServerName

Specifies one or more reg servers to move. Server Name is the actual instance name (labeled Server Name)

-Group

The new group. If no new group is specified, the default root will used

-InputObject

Allows results from Get-DbaRegServer to be piped in

-EnableException

By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the command were to run. No actions are actually performed.

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before executing any changing operations within the command.
