<\/div>

One of the new features of Windows Server 2012 is the \u201cinvoke-gpudate\u201d cmdlet in powershell 3.0. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With this cmdlet you can force any single client to do a grupdate without having to access the client directly, really cool i think!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To make it easier i wrote a short script, that triggers the gpupdate on only one Client<\/strong> with a two minute delay:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

function Pause ($Message="GPudate successfully sent. Computer will update Policy in 2 Minutes. Press any key to close")
{
write-host \u2013NoNewLine $Message
$null = $host.UI.rawUI.ReadKey("NoEcho,IncludeKeyDown")
write-host ""
} <\/font><\/p>\n

$computername = read-host "Please type in FQDN of the Computer to update policy (e.g. pc4711.domain.local) "
invoke-gpupdate -computer $computername -randomdelayinminutes 2 -force
<\/font><\/p>\n

Pause<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This script can be run without having any server 2012<\/strong> installed, all you need is Windows 8 with installed Remote Server Administratio tools for Windows 8<\/a>.<\/p>\n
