Create Users in Sub OU

[Suma]

Hi Everyone,

New to GAM and need to create about 25,000 users. I have sub-organizations and when I use the command:

gam create user testuser firstname test lastname user password password org "/All Students/2015"

I get an error: Error 400: Invalid input: INVALID_OU_ID - invalid

I thought it was a syntax error on the OU, however, when I do an update command,  gam update users testuser org "/All Students/2015" that works just fine.

What am I missing?  Would like to be able to create the users and put them in the proper OU in 1 step, instead of having to create then update all 25,000 users.

Thanks for your help and insight!

You didn't say what version of GAM you are using. What does:

gam print orgs

show? Try it without the first / and see if that helps.

AHA! No leading / solved it. Odd that the update command takes the leading / but create command doesn't...

Thanks so much!

Hi,

Are you able to move users from one OU to another?

I found this issue here:

http://code.google.com/p/google-apps-manager/issues/detail?can=2&start=0&num=100&q=&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary&groupby=&sort=&id=212

I run the command but nothing happens .

This is a bug in the gam.py source: in the 3.3 source at line 3199 there is this snippet of code which is within doCreateUser
    elif sys.argv[i].lower() in [u'org', u'ou']:
      org = sys.argv[i+1]
      if org[1] != u'/':
        org = u'/%s' % org
      body[u'orgUnitPath'] = org
      i += 2
 
It's trying to add a leading / to the org if there isn't one but it's testing the second character instead of the first. The third line of code should read:

      if org[0] != u'/':

The command works as expected after the fix.
