Does GAM have code to check if user already exists before trying to create the account?

[Richy K]

Does anyone know if GAM has any code, like if/else statements that will check if a user account already exists before I try to create it?

[Ed Hillis]

It doesn't, but it returns an error if the user already exists. If you write a script that calls GAM, you can build an if/else process by checking what it returns.

Thanks Ed,

Can you give me an example of how check what it returns, with an if/else statement.  I have been using VBscript.
