I have a sheet with new faculty that I am working on to bulk create new faculty and then send them their account info that I'm having issues getting to work.  My command is:  gam csv gsheet <AdminUser> id <FileID of this Google Sheet> <SheetName> gam create user ~username ou ~ou firstname ~firstname lastname ~lastname otheremail personal ~persemail password ~password changepassword true notify ~persemail subject '[School Name] #domain# Google Account for #firstname# #lastname#' ghtml <your email address> id <FileID of your welcome.html file> html true
Where <adminuser> is my account and the file ID's are coming straight from the browser's window.  It's coming back with an invalid argument error.  Can you assist?

David,

You're on Windows, single quotes are not recognized.
subject 'YHT hartorah.org Google Account for #firstname# #lastname#'
Replace the single quotes with double quotes.
