Unable to use Update-GSOrganizationalUnit

[Chris4678]

I have been trying to use the Update-GSOrganizationalUnit command to move an OU. Using the Wiki I have tried both the ID and path method but get an error every time.
For example:
Update-GSOrganizationalUnit -OrgUnitID "IDofOUtoBeMoved" -ParentOrgUnitPath "/NewParentOU" -ParentOrgUnitID "IDofNewParent"

This gives me an error saying parent org unit not found. I copy and pasted the path and ID from the output of Get-GSorganizationalUnit.

I then tried to get just anything at all working and tried to rename an OU:
Update-GSOrganizationalUnit -orgUnitID "IDofOU" -name "test"

This gives me a different error: "You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression" This one is pretty much an exact copy of one of the examples on the wiki so I am really not sure what to change. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

I really need to be able to move OUs, if there is another way to do this I am happy to try it out.

Hey @Chris4678 - Checking this out tonight! Thanks for raising this issue, sounds like a bug to me!

[scrthq]

side note - are you explicitly importing the module first or are you autoloading by running one of the command directly? if autoloading, can you try restarting your session, running Import-Module PSGSuite, then running the command and seeing if it replicates the error?

I am using the import-module method. I have it as one of the first lines in my script as well as the switch config command so that I make sure I am accessing the correct account.
