Re: [GAM] Update Chromebook by assetid

[John Warf]

I did the very thing this morning pulling information on CROS.....

Pull report of all devices....

gam print cros > cros-info.csv

Open the report in Excel or Spreadsheet of choice.  Create a column updating with the commands needed.

Create a bat or just copy paste to a command line from an Excel column.....

gam update cros <devcice id> ou <new org unit>

You have to update via the long 8-4-4-4-12 character ID.

Also look into the Google Spreadsheet Add-On called Chromebook Inventory as it's great for updating OU and Info for CROS devices.  Just takes a while when doing large numbers.

Thanks

I am attempting to update the OU for 4300 chromebooks by assetid and not having much luck.

I have been provided a csv file with the assetid of each chromebook.  Each csv is for a separate OU.  Sounds easy so far...

I test my script logic with doing a print first, just to check on my logic...

gam print cros query:Asset_ID:123456

After about 10 minutes I still have no response from the CLI.  Ok, let's try it this way:

gam print cros query 'Asset_ID = 123456'

same results

gam print cros query 'asset_id = 123456'

same results

gam print cros query 'assetid = 123456'

same results

Just attempting to make sure I have some correct syntax and/or logic I tried:

gam print cros query "assetid='123456'"

Retrieving All Chrome OS Devices for organization (may take some time for large accounts)...

Got 0 Chrome devices...

but if I enter the 123456 in the admin console the chromebook shows up.  Somewhere I have something wrong...

Taking the CSV out of the question...

gam update cros query "assetid='123456'" ou "/Site1/Students"

Error: assetid='123456' is not a valid argument for gam update cros

Does this mean that I cannot get there from here?  Do I need to create a query that will pull all of the serials from the assetid's?  Or deviceid's?

Surely we can get there, even if we have to take a step or two inbetween.
