Tony,
When did you relax the rules? I have things I'd like to pitch, too. Is it a
free-for-all now?
Sincerely,

ADUC
Immediate questions / comments come to mind:
1. Does each and every admin need to install the software? I would hope
not, but can't be sure from the docs.
2. Re-word context menu 'gpupdate' to 'Refresh GPOs' [much more
meaningful :) ] 3. I'm uncomfortable at the thought of offering re-start
and shutdown command via ADU&C :) I'd rather those operations were a
little more 'hidden' and thus less likely to be invoked accidentally.
4. I'd like to see the changes made in AD (as a result of the
installation) documented in *detail* before I even looked at this in a
lab. The doc alludes to those changes but more detail is needed IMHO.
Personally, I can think of several other additions that could / should
be made to context menus, that I'd like to see before 'restart' and
'shutdown'. Examples:
- Unlock user
- Unlock all users in OU
- Show user data (last logon, last bad logon etc)
Did customers ask for a bulk gp updating tool?
My (candid) 2 penneth,
neil

Dear listmembers,
Today we have released a free tool that gives you the power to perform
gpupdate, start ups or shut downs of computers through Active Directory
Users and Computers. We would love if you tried the tool called Specops
Gpupdate and came with feedback to us on how to further improve it. We
have developed this tool to make your job as an admin as easy as
possible.
Here is the link to the product page where you can download the tool:
