GAM command to copy all members from one group to a new one

[Justin York]

I need to make a temporary Group for a surprise party, with the exception of the one staff member the party is for. How do I copy all members from the existing group to the new one, minus the one person in question? Thanks.

Thanks! I'm getting the error that 'copyfrom' is not a valid argument for gam create group.

You're using Standard GAM, it doesm't support the commands I used, Advanced GAM is required.

See: https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD3/wiki/How-to-Upgrade-from-Standard-GAM

If you send me a Meet/Zoom invitation, I can walk you through the upgrade.
