use gpupdate to update group policy

gpupdate is a command line utility to force group policy updates. Group policy updates every 90 to 120 minutes, but sometimes you don’t want to wait that long. with this program you can do it instantly. I also show how to open a port on the windows firewall to allow you to remotely force group policy updates. To remotely update the GPO, I use a program called psexec. It’s from a company called sysinternals that Microsoft bought. You can download the entire pstools package to get it. These things are best in a domain, but should work on a workgroup (local) machine as well. You can use them on Server 2000, 2003, 2008, Microsoft Windows, XP, Vista, and 7. technet.microsoft.com commands used… gpupdate.exe /force gpupdate.exe /logoff gpupdate.exe /boot gpupdate.exe /Target:USER psexec \\DESKTOP101,DESKTOP101 gpupdate.exe /force /boot technoblogical.com

    Are you asking if you can have two users logged into the machine at the same time? No not that I know of. A server would but not Windows 7. Microsoft only allows one user at a time on desktop systems.

    @technoblogical is there any software that can open two user in the same time??

  3. technoblogical Says:

    No, what you are seeing is two different machines running on virtualization. However there is a program that will do it called Yodm 3D. It used to be free, but they charge money for it now.
