We tend to deploy applications to users via group membership. The shortcuts to applications are held in a single shared desktop folder, with NTFS permissions on each shortcut linking to the application group. It is quick and dirty and saves writing new entries to the relevant GPOs every time you want to push out a new app. However, some of our more PITA users are complaining that they have to log off and back on when a new app is deployed, so we were trying to give them a way to update their group memberships dynamically by running some sort of shortcut on their desktop.
I considered klist, but does that not just purge the Kerberos token and you have to reacquire a new one at login time? I've never used it before - that was just what I read in a couple of forums.
