Fairly niche one this one. Needed to hide all the users in a specific group from the GSuite Domain’s Global Address List Powershell to the rescue. Pulling through all the users in a specific searchbase and iterating through them with the GAM gal off command.

#- Set the image -#

.\gam.exe group $groupAddress update photo $imageLocation
