ERROR: Suspended is not a valid argument for "gam update user"

[Mike McLoughlin]

Hi,

GAM version: 4.12

I am trying to suspend users with the command:

E:\gam\gam.exe update user jsm...@mydomain.co.uk supended on

...and am seeing the error message:

ERROR: Suspended is not a valid argument for "gam update user"

The syntax guide suggests it should work (my emphasis) - although is is flagged as for GAM3:

Update and Rename a User

Syntax

gam update user <email address>
 [firstname <First Name>] [lastname <Last Name>]
 [password <Password>]
 [username <New Username>]
 [email <New Email>]
 [gal on|off] [admin on|off] [suspended on|off]
 [sha] [md5] [crypt] [nohash] 

 [changepassword on|off] [org <Org Name>] 

Am I missing something obvious here?

I have managed to get around this via the bulk method instead, like this:

gam csv C:\gam\suspend.csv gam update user ~email suspended on

Mike,

Your command as shown (suspended misspelled): E:\gam\gam.exe update user jsm...@mydomain.co.uk supended on

The error message as shown (suspended spelled correctly but capitalized): ERROR: Suspended is not a valid argument for "gam update user"

There is a mismatch here in what you're reporting.

This command: E:\gam\gam.exe update user jsm...@mydomain.co.uk supended on

should give this error: ERROR: supended is not a valid argument for "gam update user"

Correct usage: E:\gam\gam.exe update user jsm...@mydomain.co.uk suspended on

Check your spelling and report back.

Ross

Hi Ross,

Oh, how embarrassing - a simple spelling mistake, lol.

My command-line interface was very small text-wise.

Thanks for your help.
