How to execute gpupdate on remote clients

[D.P. Roberts]

I'd like to run gpupdate /force on a group of machines remotely without
having to reboot them. Anyone know how this can be done?

Thanks!

psexec could be a help, but some settings or only
effective, if the system reboots. dealing with net stop/start
on different services could be more effort.

I don't know of a way to do it to a group all with one command. One solution
may be to try and use the AT command in a batch to schedule a group of
computers to run gpupdate at a certain time. The link below explains the AT
command more. Psexec from SysInternals is another option that also has the
ability to run the command against a group of computers in a text file. I
believe the names of the computers need to be fully qualified domain names
assuming these are domain computers. --- Steve
