Is there a way to Sync the same group with multiple OUs? I have 2 OUs that need to sync with a particular group and can't seem to figure out how without having to move the OUs around.

Alex,
With Gam 4.40 you'd do something like this:
gam ou "/Students/Lower School/2021" print > tykes.lst
gam ou "/Students/Lower School/2022" print >> tykes.lst
gam update group ty...@domain.com add member file tykes.lst
With my Advanced Gam (https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-X) or (https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD) you'd do this:
gam update group ty...@domain.com add member ous "'/Students/Lower School/2021','/Students/Lower School/2022'"

Alex,
The "add member" in the examples should be "sync member"; I was using add/remove for testing.
Gam 4.40:
gam ou "/Students/Lower School/2021" print > tykes.lst
gam ou "/Students/Lower School/2022" print >> tykes.lst
gam update group ty...@domain.com sync member file tykes.lst
Advanced Gam:
gam update group ty...@domain.com sync member ous "'/Students/Lower School/2021','/Students/Lower School/2022'"

Hey Ross:
Does "sync member" remove addresses that aren't on the .lst file?

Andrew,
Yes. sync does adds/removes as necessary to make the group members match the .lst file.

A drop off topic - but is it possible a group sync off of a Google Sheet instead of a .lst file?

Andrew,
No, you have to download the sheet first.
Gam 4.40:
gam user us...@domain.dom get drivefile drivefilename "NameOfSheet" format csv targetfolder ". or path"
The file will be named NameOfSheet.csv.
An existing file of the same name will not be overwritten, (#)- will be added as a prefix.
Advanced GAM:
gam user us...@domain.dom get drivefile drivefilename "NameOfSheet" format csv targetfolder ". or path" targetname "A Different Name.csv" overwrite
The file will be named NameOfSheet.csv unless you specify targetname " Different Name.csv".
An existing file of the same name will not be overwritten, (#)- will be added as a prefix unless you specify overwrite.

So if i specify overwrite then I can technically schedule it nightly to pull the sheet and then sync it and any edits done in the sheet will sync nightly - right?
