Hey everyone, I have about 1400 Chromebooks that I need to remove the AnnotateUser from.

I've tried this command:

gam update cros $Device annotatedUser " "

Which sets the field to a space, but I need it to actually null the field.

Anyone know if this is possible with GAM?

Thanks.

Chris,

Set the field to an empty string, not a space.

gam update cros $Device annotatedUser ""

I've tried that, I get this error on GAMADV-XTD3 6.03.02 :

Command: C:\GAMADV-XTD3\gam.exe update cros $device annotatedUser >>><<<

ERROR: Missing argument: Expected <String>

perhaps changed in updates?

Everyone,

Chris is using PowerShell and having an empty argument requires magic.
PowerShell drops empty arguments, e.g., "" and ''. To get an empty argument user `"`"

gam update cros $Device annotatedUser `"`"
