I am trying to add a mail signature for our pupils, but I want a different one for each OU.

I have a OU called pupils and inside it year of entry 14/15/16 ect

I have tried:

gam ou "Pupils/Y9 Entry" signature file C:\GAM\Pupil-Signatures\y9.txt

I get the following error:

Getting all users in the Google Apps organization (may take some time on a large
 domain)...

ERROR: 400: Invalid Input: INVALID_OU_ID - invalid



Any ideas?

Matt,

It's not clear to me what the OU names are; I read that you have:
Pupils/14
Pupils/15
Pupils/16
...

Is this correct? What is Pupils/Y9 Entry?
It seems that you could have a CSV file ouyears.csv
Year
14
15
16
...

gam csv ouyears.csv gam ou Pupils/~~Year~~ signature file C:\GAM\Pupil-Signatures\~~Year~~.txt

We have an OU called "Chilwell Pupils", then inside that another OU called "Y12 Entry", I am not familiar with the CSV command.

Matt,

OK, here's a slightly simpler scheme. Make a CSV file , ousig.csv with two columns:
ou,sig
/Chilwell Pupils/Y9 Entry,y9.txt
/Chilwell Pupils/Y10 Entry,y10.txt
/Chilwell Pupils/Y11 Entry,y11.txt
/Chilwell Pupils/Y12 Entry,y12.txt

Give the command: gam csv ousig.csv gam ou "~ou" signature file "C:\GAM\Pupil-Signatures\~~sig~~"
