New to the GPMC with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, administrators can now force a Group Policy update to be processed on all systems within a specific OU from the GPMC. This functionality has been lacking and has a lot of use to administrators who need to create and enforce a policy as soon as possible. This functionality however only applies to computers and not to users. To perform this task, just right-click the desired OU and select Group Policy Update, as shown in Figure 19.12. After the setting is selected, you are required to approve, and the results are shown in a Remote Group Policy Update Results window.
