humbletech99 Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I have a Windows 2003 active directory domain and I find that when assigning or revoking security privileges via group memberships as standard they don't take effect until the user logs off and back on again.This is a problem from the point of view that users can't access files until they log off and back on to get the effective group membership to access the files that have permissions assigned to the group.It's also a problem from the point of view of revoking privileges. If I revoke an administrator for example, the account still has administrative rights indefinitely until it logs off!Is there a way to force the security changes, group membership changes etc to take effect without having users log off and back on again?

cozofdeath Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 How about gpupdate.exe for the command prompt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humbletech99 Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 gpupdate? do you even know what that does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozofdeath Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Well, I've been a network admin for about 14 years for about 5,000 users and almost 50 servers. Actually I'm just joking. I'm in college for computer administration. :P But I do know that this tool will update your group policy without restarting or logging off. I think it was in my Managing Microsoft Windows 2003 Server or the Installing MWS2003 book. I think we even used the command in class a couple times. Something more like gpupdate /force or gpupdate /target:10.0.20.40. I wanted to post something because I know a little about server 2003 and it had 0 replies and usually server questions don't get a lot of replies so I figured its better than nothing.

humbletech99 Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 oh dear, just what the world needs, another mcse to add to the 10 million already out there. I hope you are great in computers if you are looking to get a job at the end of it. Don't tell me, they promised you a job placement at the end of the course?anyway, good luck with that, it's just that as an mcse, everybody else I knew who did the same fell by the wayside. Maybe the job market is better now... (let's just hope it stays that way since IT is always the first thing to get chopped - Jeez I'm jaded...)

cozofdeath Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I'm guessing it didn't help. Your right about the IT jobs being cut first because its liability but its not going to stop me. Even if I don't have a job with computers I'll still be interested in them. I just want the degree then I'll work on certificates in different fields like cisco, sql, or programming. I'm interested in a lot. What do you do? Have you got cut from a job or just a lot of people you knew? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humbletech99 Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 not personally but it did take me 3 years to eventually get my first lowly IT job to start off with. There is just no need to take noobs now. I know a lot of people who have been let go over the last few years. Another guy I know is the only person left in his team, everybody else in his team got made redundant just now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Ummm...gpupdate, depending on what you've changed will either work right away or will work when the user logs off and then on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
