Hi, I just updated to Gam7 today because I need to force password changes for the whole student OU. I keep getting this error:

"Getting all Users in the Organizational Unit for /Password, may take some time on a large Organizational Unit...
Organizational Unit: /Password, Does not exist
Command: gam update users ou >>>/Password<<< Reset Test changepasswordatnextlogin true

ERROR: 1 Organizational Unit Does not exist in source marked >>> <<< above"

Thanks

Put the OU name in quotes as it has spaces in the name.
gam update users ou "/Password Reset Test" changepasswordatnextlogin true

Thank you Ross, that worked. I thought I had tried all the right options with syntax, specifically the quotes. I guess I missed that one.
