Powershell - GAM create datatransfer

[Derek A.]

Hey Everyone, 

I am having an issue with updating users in bulk, but only with the create datatransfer option. 

For my script I created the Variables: 

$gam = "C:\Scripts\GAM\gam.exe" 

$from_user = "us...@domain.com"

$to_user = "us...@domain.com"

For executing commands I run it as: 

. $gam create datatransfer $from_user drive $to_user privacy_level shared,private

When this executes I get the following message:

GAM 3.66 - http://git.io/gam

Jay Lee <jay...@gmail.com>

Python 2.7.12 64-bit final

google-api-python-client 1.5.0

Windows-8.1-6.3.9600 AMD64

Path: C:\Scripts\GAM

Usage: gam [OPTIONS]...

GAM. Retrieve or set Google Apps domain,

user, group and alias settings. Exhaustive list of commands

can be found at: https://github.com/jay0lee/GAM/wiki

Examples:

gam info domain

gam create user jsmith firstname John lastname Smith password secretpass

gam update user jsmith suspended on

gam.exe update group announcements add member jsmith

...

When I execute a delete command everything works fine:

. $gam delete user $to_user

Any idea why the data transfer will not execute?

Derek,

This is a bug in 3.65, change drive to Drive in your create datatransfer command.

I have definitely tried that, I even tried upgraded to 3.66 (https://github.com/taers232c/GAM/releases/tag/v3.66)

I have no problems running this from my computer, and only have this issue when I run it from a different computer (copied the GAM folder from my computer to the other pc)

I found that it got weird for me in Powershell when I combined the privacy_level args, so I ended up running them one after the other if I wanted both Private and shared data:

. $gam create datatransfer $from_user drive $to_user privacy_level shared

. $gam create datatransfer $from_user drive $to_user privacy_level private

Also, using Invoke-Expression seems to yield working answers in some situations, may be worth trying

[Derek A.]

Yeah, after enough frustration I decided to register the path for GAM.exe in the system environment variable "path" 

Then I adjusted my script to do CMD /C "gam create datatransfer $from_user drive $to_user privacy_level shared" which worked perfectly.
