Does anyone know if GAM can be run as part of an automated task? I.E. a powershell script which checks for members of a specific AD group, and then moves any of those members' email accounts to a specific Google OU.

An added question, when you install GAM on a machine, how is it installed? Is anyone who has access to that machine allowed to run GAM commands (assuming it might use the email account that was used during install) or is only the account that was used to install GAM allowed to run GAM commands?

Joshua,


You can use Windows security to limit access to GAM

The short answer is "Yes." 
The long answer is I have quite a few scheduled tasks that utilize powershell and gam. Let me know if you have any specific questions.
