Moving devices from root OU to multiple other OUs

[Garrett Ralston]

Hi, I'm new to GAM, and don't speak command line all that well haha.. I'm needing to move a bunch of devices from our root OU to multiple other OUs. I have a csv file that has "SerialNumber" and "TargetOU" headers, with all of the SNs, and each of the target OUs. I can reach all of my target OUs and my root OU using the "gam info org #" command, where # is the particular path.

When I run my batch file, this is what I get in the command line:

 moving 1 devices to //TargetOU

ERROR: 400: Invalid Input: INVALID_OU_ID - invalid
PyInstaller\loader\pyimod02_importers.py:352: UserWarning: You are using cryptography on a 32-bit Python on a 64-bit Windows Operating System. Cryptography will be significantly faster if you switch to using a 64-bit Python.
 moving 1 devices to //Students/Elementary/PJE/PK

This is what I have in my batch file:

@echo off
set GAM_PATH="C:\GAM\gam.exe"
set CSV_FILE=C:\Users\ralstong\Documents\chromebooks.csv
set SOURCE_OU=/

rem Ensure you have the necessary headers in the CSV file:
rem SerialNumber,TargetOU

rem Loop through the CSV file and move each Chromebook from the root OU to its target OU
for /f "tokens=1,2 delims=," %%i in (%CSV_FILE%) do (
    "%GAM_PATH%" update cros %%i org "%SOURCE_OU%/%%j"
)

echo Chromebooks moved from %SOURCE_OU% to their target OUs based on the CSV file.

I'm unsure of where I'm going wrong since I can reach each OU individually. Is it that I'm using regular GAM rather than Advanced GAM?

Garrett,

gam csv "C:\Users\ralstong\Documents\chromebooks.csv" gam update cros cros_sn "SerialNumber" ou "~TargetOU"

Show a sample line from you CSV file.

Hi Ross,

Here's a sample from my CSV:

SerialNumber	TargetOU
JSMG9W3	Students/Elementary/PJE/PK
BY9K9W3	Students/Elementary/PJE/KG
FM22J93	Students/Elementary/PJE/01

I have 6 additional OUs which I'm moving devices into as well.

The line you shared, is that all I would need in my batch file?

Garrett,

Basically, yes; but you're using Standard GAM, the error message indicates a potential bug.

Send me a Meet/Zoom invitation to discuss.

Ross
