Update location field based on OU

[Dale Grant]

Hi there,

Would anyone be able to help with a script which can be run to update the location field of all Chromebooks based on the OU which they are in?

Many Thanks!

[Robert Fine]

Hi Dale, 

use the update location for the chromebooks in gam, and run the command for the OU. 

gam cros_ou "/path/to/OU" update location <location>

Dale,

If you want to update multiple OU locations make a CSV file OuLocations.csv with two columns: OU,Location

OU,Location

/Path/to/OU1,Location1

/Path/to/OU2,Location2

...

gam csv OuLocations.csv gam cros_ou "~OU" update location "~Location"

Hi there Robert,

When I run the command:

gam cros_ou "/Devices/Admin" update location testlocation

I get the following error:

ERROR: location is not a valid argument for "gam <users> update"

Am I doing something stupid?

Thanks!

Dale,

You're running Standard GAM, the command Robert gave works in Advanced GAM. You have to do two steps:

gam print cros cros_ou "/Devices/Admin" > cros.csv

gam csv cros.csv gam update cros "~deviceId" location testlocation
