I'm getting the same issue when trying to update my group settings. If I run a powershell script with this command: "c:\gam\gam create group $entry.group who_can_post_message all_in_domain_can_post" ($entry.group refers to a group name in a csv file) I get this:
gam.exe : Error 412: Precondition Failed - conditionNotMet
At line:6 char:15
+     c:\gam\gam <<<<  create group $entry.group who_can_post_message all_in_domain_can_post
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (Error 412: Prec...conditionNotMet:String) [], RemoteException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError

If I run gam from the command line "c:\gam\gam create group 14-offsite-test who_can_post_message all_in_domain_can_post" I get
gam.exe : Error 400: Permission denied: Cannot hide from Groups directory. - invalid
At line:1 char:11

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (Error 400: Perm...tory. - invalid:String) [], RemoteException

I'm running what I believe is the latest version of gam, and my OAuth and admin dashboard settings are all correct per the walkthroughs,
PS C:\gam> c:\gam\gam version

Hi group.  

The same error 400 with Permission Denied.  But with different command

D:\documents\gam>gam update group  networkmeeting spam_moderation_level allow
Error 400: Permission denied: Cannot hide from Groups directory. - invalid

and also

D:\documents\gam>gam group networkmeeting profile status
Getting all members of network...@mydomain.name (may take some time for large groups)...Got 13 members...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gam.py", line 6037, in <module>
  File "gam.py", line 1250, in doProfile
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'body' referenced before assignment

Looking forward for a fix soon.

Now seeing this with the error below. This seems to be related to a periodic Google snafu. It would be great if I could actually rely on Google's API to manage my distribution lists but it seems like they are treating it as a beta still.

GAM 3.0 started blowing up this morning, but apparently only on the "info group" command. The message that appears is:

Same as above -- Error 400: A system error has occurred - invalid

I get this error when running "info group" commands.

I've opened another ticket with Google about this, it would be great if others could as well.

It looks like GAM 2.55 is blowing up as well, but only on the "settings" sub-command:

 ./gam.sh info group <groupname redacted> settings
Error: Bad Request - <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<errors xmlns="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005">

Thanks Guys,

  I have a ticket opened also and am working with Google on the issue. If you are affected, please do go ahead and open a ticket of your own (even though others have tickets open) to help Google see the impact of the issue.

A ticket just opened.

When I went to the Google Enterprise Support Portal, at the top it showed in an yellow bar:

When I click on details, it showed the following but not sure if it is related this issue. http://Google.com/AppsStatus does not show this.

After Google support confirming, I tested and found it working.

Thanks.

Here's the reply I received:

Hello Mike,

Thanks for your message.I understand that you are experiencing an issue with using GAM to update a group on your Google Apps for Business account on the domain cictr.com. I tried calling you now on XXXXXXX, however you were not available.

Our API specialists have confirmed that this was an issue on our end which was affecting the Google Groups service and has since been resolved. We appreciate you reporting this issue to our team.

Please let me know if you are still experiencing an issue and I will be happy to investigate the issue further for you.

Sincerely,

James
Enterprise Support

This was raised back in 2013 and I have delayed moving from GAM2 to GAM3 for group management because of it.  But as the end of support for the API used by GAM2 is approaching I have revisited it.  I was disappointed to find that group creation which includes the setting of who_can_post_message still sometimes fails with "Precondition Failed - conditionNotMet".  I had hoped that this would have been fixed by now.  I am using version 3.41.  Would it be better to create the group and then attempt to change group settings in a separate update operation?

Thank you
