Copying OU Settings with GAMADV-XTD3

[MichaelSteinberg]

I'm reaching out for some guidance on how to copy Organizational Unit (OU) settings from one OU to another using GAMADV-XTD3. I've been trying to achieve this using the JSON file functionality, but haven't had success so far.

My goal is to duplicate settings like user creation defaults, password policies, and other OU-level configurations from a source OU to a target OU. Ideally, I'd like to be able to export the settings from the source OU in JSON format, modify them if needed, and then import them into the target OU.

I've attempted to use the gam print ou /sourceOU > ou_settings.json command to export the settings and then the gam update chromepolicy ou /targetOU ./ou_settings.json command to import them. However, I'm encountering errors, and it seems like certain settings might not be transferable through this method due to the structure of the Google APIs and/or GAMs.

Could you please provide some insights on whether this functionality is currently supported by GAMADV-XTD3? If so, are there any specific steps or considerations I need to take to ensure a successful transfer of OU settings? If this isn't currently possible, are there any alternative approaches or workarounds you'd recommend?
Any assistance or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
