update org by file very slow or fail in gam 3.x

[DIEGO GONZALEZ ESPINILLA]

Hi.

In gam version 2.55, move 100 mailboxes to any org takes 2 seconds.

In gam 3.x, including 3.3, the same operation takes more than 5 minutes or fail and dont move any mailboxes.

Regards.

Yes, the old Provisioning API allowed up to 25 users to be moved into an OU with a single API call. With the new Admin SDK, it's an API operation per-user to move them. However, a few things:

• The new Admin SDK allows you to set user OU at the same time a user is created or other updates are made to a user (like setting their password or phone number) and it's still just 1 API call. If possible, I recommend setting the user's API call at this time.
  
  
• You can use the new GAM 3.2+ batch and csv commands to speed up these processes. They are documented here. Assuming you have the list of 100 users in a CSV you can do:
  
  gam csv users2move.csv gam update user ~email ou "/NewOU"
  
  where users2move.csv is a CSV file with headers which has a header row of email with all user emails to move defined. This should be much faster as GAM will start 5 child processes to perform the moves in parallel.

If you're still getting errors, I need to know the exact error message you're getting to be able to do anything with it.

Thanks Jay.

I used the batch option and it worked perfectly although still slower than before.

In the batch option, can I use with print command?:

File print.txt

gam print users ou > users.csv

gam print licenses > licenses.csv

And gam command:

.\gam.exe batch .\print.txt

In powershell give me this error:

PS C:\GAM33> .\gam.exe batch .\print.txt

starting 20 worker threads...

Error: > is not a valid argument to gam print licenses

You can't redirect within a batch like this. You'll need to do the redirect on the command line.
