I am working on a project to put all our student Chromebooks into the correct OU.  
I have a .CSV that has serial number and new OU.  
As a test, this is the contents of the file "Move-Grade3-5CB.csv"
serial,ou
6V9PT33,/9-12

In this example, the Chromebook with serial number 6V9PT33 should be moved from the OU /3-5 to OU /9-12.

I am using this PowerShell script:
$list = Import-Csv "C:\Accounts\2022-2023\Move-Chromebooks\Move-Grade3-5CB.csv"
foreach ($entry in $list)
{
gam update cros query:id:$($entry.serial) ou $($entry.ou)
}

When I run this script, I get this error:
Got 1 CrOS Device...
Got 1 CrOS Device that matched query (id:6V9PT33)
Organizational Unit: /9-12, Add 1 CrOS Device
  Organizational Unit: /9-12, CrOS Device: e1d567a8-b2d8-4f64-8591-36daa1598694, Add Failed: 400: invalidInput - Invalid Input: Inconsistent Orgunit id and path in request - 5816620790317060, /9-12

What am I doing wrong?

One thing I can think of is your OU. Is that OU at the root of your directory, or is it a sub-OU? I know mine are subs, so you have to specify the full path, like /Campus/9-12. If there is a space in an OU name, you have to enclose it in double quotes. "/High School/9-12".

The reseller API is only available to you if you are an actual reseller, so you may not need this.

 

I disable Pub/Sub and Reseller at this step because as an Education customer I can’t use these.

 

I really try to enable all the service APIs I can as I never really know what someone will ask so I don’t want to reconfigure GAM each time I run it.

 

Your milage may vary.
