There's a paid version too, which does a bunch of other cool stuff. It' also reports back on what machines it has/hasn't run on and will even generate some powershell scripts for you if you want to run them as a scheduled task at a later time. It initiates gpupdates, shutdowns, WOL and WSUS updates. After it is installed on your machine, merely right click the OU (or specific computer/user) and select gpupdate. Opens a new window You'll need to use Active Directory Users and Computers, as it won't work with Active Directory Administration Center. After your GPO is in place, if you want to force an update for all computers immediately, you'll want to check out SpecOps gpupdate.
