Is it possible to use GAM to de-provision Chromebooks from Google Management?  As I start to replace older devices I am going to have thousands of devices to de-provision so they can be sold.

Thanks,
John

Hi John,

  Unfortunately the Directory API currently doesn't support changes to device status (deprovisioned, disabled, etc). Thus there's no way GAM can make the change. Today this has to be done in the CPanel.

John, in the Google Admin Console, you can deprovision mass deprovision Chromebooks.
Just go to the OU of the Chromebook, and click the box to select them all, then go to More Actions then Deprovision.

Were they leased and being returned to vendor? Are they being decommissioned and donated? Or...?
