An Admin's Guide to Automating Google Workspace and Leaving the Slow, Click-by-Click GUI Behind.
So, welcome to the course!
If you're a Google Workspace Administrator, you know the drill. Updating one user's telephone number in the admin console? That's easy. But what about updating that number for the entire company? Or, let's say you have a major security incident and you need to change 10,000 passwords... right now.
Trying to do that one-by-one through the normal web interface (the "GUI") isn't just tedious—it's practically impossible. It's what I call "challenging."
That's precisely why GAM7 (Google Apps Manager) exists. And in this course, we're going to master it.
Now, you might be confused. For years, if you've been in the Google chat groups, you'd see the same question over and over: "Should I be using the normal GAM, or the advanced one, GAMADV-XT3?"
Here's the quick history:
GAM was started way back in 2009 by Jay Lee.
Later, Ross Scroggs took that original and created an even more powerful, advanced version called GAMADV-XT3.
The problem was, they were both being maintained separately, their features started overlapping, and it got really confusing for admins.
Well, I've got great news: those days are over.
They've finally decided to merge the two projects into one single, powerful tool: GAM7. It's now maintained by both Jay and Ross, and it truly has the best of everything. It's powerful, it's efficient, and it runs everywhere—Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, even on a Raspberry Pi!
This course is designed to make you a more efficient, more powerful Google Workspace Admin. My goal isn't just to show you a bunch of scripts; it's to get you set up correctly from the start and give you real-world examples of commands you can run for exporting data, updating users in bulk, pulling reports on Shared Drives, and handling security, all from the command line.
A little about me: I'm Paul. I've been programming since 2001 (starting with old-school ASP and .NET) and teaching IT since 2000 (back in the wild days of FrontPage and Flash!). I've been in the trenches for a long time, working daily with Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, PowerShell, and migrating clients between them. This is the stuff I do every day.
This is going to be a very practical course. We've checked all the scripts, but a word of warning: do this gently. Don't just run a script to update 10,000 people on day one. We'll build up to it.
If you have questions, please consider using the Q&A section here in the course. It's the easiest way for me to help you.

GAM7 on Ubuntu Linux (And How to Pronounce It Correctly)
A complete, step-by-step, and slightly controversial guide to getting GAM7 running on Ubuntu, including the common mistakes and how to fix them!
So, welcome! We're now going to install GAM7 on Ubuntu Linux.
Now, I know... my American friends are probably saying Linux, and some of my British friends might be too. But I'm here to tell you, it's Lin-ux. It's named after its creator, Linus Torvalds. You put an 'x' on the end. Lin-ux. "Linux" just doesn't make sense!
This reminds me of my other, even more controversial opinion: that floating thing in the ocean. My American friends say "boo-ee." No! It's a "boy." It's the shortened version of "buoyant." That's just how it works. We're right, and some of you are wrong.
Okay. If any of you are actually still here after that, let's get GAM7 installed on Ubuntu Linux.
If you've gone through the Mac and Windows versions, this might feel a little familiar, but I'm here and I'm willing to make it fun. We'll be doing a complete, from-scratch install on a brand-new Ubuntu machine. This means we're going to hit all the fun little errors, like the curl: command not found error, and I'll show you how to fix them as we go.
This isn't just a perfect, polished install. This is a real-world walkthrough. I'm even going to show you a critical mistake I made, I'll accidentally copy the Mac file path (users/admin) instead of the Linux path (home/paul-ogier) when editing our config file, and I'll show you exactly how to diagnose and fix it after the terminal (calmly) tells us "no file or directory."
The great news is that the Linux installation uses the fantastic setup wizard, which will hold our hand through the entire Google API project creation, the OAuth setup, and all the authorizations. It's much smoother than it used to be!
What you'll learn
✅ How to correctly pronounce "Linux" (and "buoy"), according to me.
✅ Run the official GAM7 installer script on a fresh Ubuntu machine.
✅ Troubleshoot "command not found" errors by installing necessary packages like curl.
✅ Manually create your gamconfig and gamwork directories.
✅ Edit your .bashrc file using nano to add the essential environment variables (and why I'm proud to use nano!).
✅ Diagnose and FIX the critical mistake of using a Mac/Windows file path (users/) instead of the correct Linux path (home/).
✅ Use the source command to reload your shell and make your new settings stick.
✅ Walk through the entire Google Cloud project creation wizard—from trusting the app in the Admin Console to generating your Client ID and Secret.
✅ Master the full authorization flow, including Domain-Wide Delegation and testing against a regular (non-admin) user.
✅ Run your first command (gam info domain) to verify everything is working perfectly.
✅ The "One More Thing" Pro-Tip: How to edit your gam.cfg file to add your Customer ID and Domain, making your commands run faster and more efficiently.

Introduction
In the dynamic realm of digital business, companies often undergo transformative journeys to adapt to emerging trends and meet evolving consumer demands. One pivotal aspect of such transformations is the migration of domain names, a process that involves transitioning from one web address to another. This case study delves into the intricate process of transitioning from domain.com to newdomain.com undertaken by a client of ours with their Google Workspace using GAMADV-XTD3 and the Google Workspace Admin portal. The transition initially targets a single individual, later expanding to an organisational unit (OU), and ultimately encompassing the entire company.
Considerations for Domain Name Updates
Transitioning domain names is a multifaceted endeavour that necessitates meticulous planning and execution to minimise disruptions and preserve digital presence effectively. Several crucial considerations emerge in this process:
** some of these are points are just for your consideration and are not part of Google Workspace.
1. Technical Implications: Changing domain names involves technical intricacies such as updating DNS records like MX, SPF and DKIM records, configuring server settings, and ensuring seamless redirection from the old domain to the new one. Fallback and Failover options should be considered so that any emails that come into your Google Workspace tenant are not lost or bounced back.
2. SEO Impact: Altering domain names can significantly impact search engine rankings and visibility. Careful planning is required to mitigate potential SEO drawbacks and maintain or enhance organic traffic. Strategies, such as 301 redirects and updated site maps, must be considered to preserve SEO equity.
3. Brand Consistency: Consistency in branding is paramount. The new domain name should align with the company's brand identity and resonate with its target audience to foster brand recognition and trust.
4. User Experience (UX): The transition should prioritize a seamless user experience, ensuring that visitors can effortlessly navigate to the new domain without encountering broken links or disruptions in service.
5. Legal and Regulatory Compliance: Compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, including trademark considerations and data protection regulations, must be addressed to mitigate legal risks and ensure adherence to industry standards.
6. Communication Strategy: Transparent communication with stakeholders, including employees, customers, partners, and relevant authorities, is vital throughout the transition process to manage expectations and address concerns effectively.
Please note that if you have any SSO, SAML, or hard wired scripts that use the actual domain, this may break things. Please check properly before deploying this.
FAQs of changing a domain in Google Workspace
1. Will the transition affect existing email addresses associated with the old domain?
- Yes, email addresses linked to the old domain will need to be updated to reflect the new domain. Proper configuration ensures continuity in communication channels, including Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) accounts. You can add the old domain as an alias in the Google Workspace admin portal. This means an email can come in to the old email and then go out from the new domain.
2. How long does the domain transition process typically take?
- The duration of the transition varies depending on factors such as the size of the organisation, the complexity of the digital infrastructure, and the extent of technical adjustments required. Generally, it can take several weeks to complete.
3. What measures are in place to minimise disruptions during the transition?
