    Hello,

    As a additional info, save this as a .cmd, for example gpupdate.cmd (for yes echo y, for no echo n):

    CD C:\Windows\System32
echo y | gpupdate /force /wait:0
exit

    Regards

    Hi Patris,

    I have a similar situation. In my organisation we are mapping network drives and pushing group policies (pardon me as I have limited knowledge about it) by invoking batch files upon user logon. But it falls over at  gpupdate force command, how do I use your code in my scenario? Could you please help? 

    Thanks in advance
