Does anyone know a way to use GAM (or other) to compare all the OU settings between 2 different OUs?

I have some user wonkiness happening in one OU, and not another - but I'm not sure which setting it is that's causing the weirdness. If I have a list of settings, I can filter out all of them that are identical, and just focus on those that are different.

Any ideas?

Paul,

OUs have very few direct settings themselves, it's the policies that refer to them that is probably causing your issue.
gam redirect csv ./OU1Policies.csv print policies ou /OU1
gam redirect csv ./OU2Policies.csv print policies ou /OU2

gam redirect csv ./OU1ChromePolicies.csv print chromepolicies ou /OU1 show direct
gam redirect csv ./OU2ChromePolicies.csv print chromepolicies ou /OU2 show direct


Send me a private Meet/Zoom invitation if you'd like to discuss your issue.

Thanks Ross,

Yes thanks. It could be an extension that's "forced installed", or any other policy. I'll give this a try. Thanks.

You can alos do which may be easier to compare.
gam redirect stdout ./OU1ChromePolicies.txt show chromepolicies ou /OU1 show direct
gam redirect stdout ./OU2ChromePolicies.txt show chromepolicies ou /OU2 show direct
