Just updated to GAM 3.45.  Tried to create a user, started getting "Error 400: Invalid Input - Invalid".   I have a batch file that I have been successfully creating users with since I started using GAM, so I know my syntax is correct.  I also tried creating a user with the GAM command line, same result. Shouldn't there be something after the second "Invalid" in the error message, actually saying what was invalid?  Any ideas on what happened?

I am running create user.  I have narrowed it down to the "org" field.  If I remove the that field, the command works fine, with it I get the 400 error. 

C:\gam-64>gam create user newgoogle firstname barney lastname google password passw0rd changepassword on org staff

Full email address is not necessary. If you just enter the local portion of the address, GAM appends the primary domain to the email address before sending to Google.

Yes, like I said the ONLY change was updating to 3.45 (from 3.43).  The OU has existed for years, and I did verify it with the gam print ous command just to be sure.  I've tried other OUs as well, same results.

It works either way, but thanks for the info.  My source data has the domain and just don't bother to strip it.
