If you want to do more within Active Directory Users and Computers we have an option for you, and that is to upgrade your Specops Gpupdate installation to Specops Remote Admin.

Quotes from another pro

"Active Directory and Group Policy administrators are already using Active Directory Users and Computers every day. This added functionality is a great enhancement to what is currently available in the Microsoft toolset."

"This free tool is extremely powerful by providing Active Directory administrators with the ability to specifically target Group Policy updates as they see fit."
