GAM Command

[Mark R]

I am trying to use GAM to hide our students from the Global Address List. We have our students in different OU's. I am trying to run commands to first get the profile to verify there status and then I want to run a command to hide the OU from the Global Address List.

When I am running the commands the screen just sits at Getting all users in the Google Apps organization (may take some time on a large domain)...

gam ou /Schools/PG/Users/Students show profile

gam ou /Schools/PG/Users/Students profile unshared

Is my syntax correct or am I missing something in the command?

Unfortunately with the new Admin SDK, there's no longer an API call to just retrieve all users under a single OU so GAM has to get ALL users in the instance and then filter down to users in the given OU. In large Google Apps instances, this takes a lot more time.

Until Admin SDK adds back a way to retrieve users based on OU, you may wish to use a Google Group instead. If all students were a member of a GG you could run:

gam group PG-Students profile unshared

also, I'm not sure what the point of reading the setting before changing it is? This is just going to cause additional API calls and slow things down...

The reason I wanted to view the profile was to verify that I was getting the OU command properly.

Would the gam ou /Schools/PG/Users/Students profile unshared command work to change the profile?

Use:

gam print ous

to see the OU names as they should be used.

When I run this command gam ou /Schools/PG/Users/Students profile unshared

I get this error message.

Is this the right command that I should be running or is there so other issue going on?
