Remote refresh group policy

Over the weekend, we implemented some needed changes to the GPO that would force the clients to use the WSUS server instead of checking Windows Update. After we made the changes, we needed to refresh the policy on each of the clent machines. Being a lazy admin, I didn’t want to go to each machine to refresh the policy. After a little searching on the web, I came across a command-line utility called RGPRefresh. This tool will help you refresh the group policies remotely. I tested it on a couple of machines, and it worked flawlessly.

Below is a screen shot of the switches that you can use with the utility.
