After performing the selected operation, for example a gpupdate, wake on lan (WOL), remote restart or remote shutdown,
you will receive instant feedback in an easy to understand format with appropriate success, warning and error codes,
all depending on the operation you choose.
Today's TIP!
Specops Gpupdate becomes even more powerful together with a
deployment
or an
inventory
solution. For example, wake up your machines (called Wake on Lan or WOL), update them with the latest service pack and then do a remote shutdown/remote restart!
