[Jason Komendat]

Is there a way to force all users in an OU and sub Ous to have t change their password at next login?

Jason,

gam ou_and_children "/Path/to/Ou" update user changepassword true

Hi Jason,

I may be wrong, butI have a note that when using "changepassword true" that the users are logged out straight away.

So in this case it would be probably better to use;-

gam update users ou </Path/To/OU> changepasswordatnextlogin

The twoarguments are synonyms; from the code:

UPDATE_USER_ARGUMENT_TO_PROPERTY_MAP = {

...

  'changepassword': 'changePasswordAtNextLogin',

  'changepasswordatnextlogin': 'changePasswordAtNextLogin',

...

API ducumentation: https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/directory/reference/rest/v1/users

changePasswordAtNextLogin

boolean Indicates if the user is forced to change their password at next login. This setting doesn't apply when the user signs in via a third-party identity provider.

Hi Ross,

OK, noted, thanks. After a quick (test account in Firefox on Xubuntu) check it looks like both options (which are the same, as you confirmed) sign users out straight away and force them to change the password.
