gpupdate
How can I send the command to force a Group Policy Update followed by a reboot (gpupdate /force /sync boot) to multiple computers? As a Script with the command in a batch file it is successfully sent but doesn't happen.

Use a KScript. You may want to break up the gpupdate and the reboot into two separate commands.

This is the Kscript which gets sent but the computer never reboots:
Launch “SYS\gpupdate.exe†with params “/force /sync /bootâ€Â.
I would prefer to get it working in KBOX rather trying to convince others to install a third party software on our active directory server.

I suppose another command to Reboot would be a script like this, right?
Launch “SYS\shutdown.exe†with params “/râ€Â.
I'm a Mac tech learning the PC side of things. On a Mac it is "shutdown -r now"

You'd probably want to use "SYS\shutdown.exe" with params "-r -f -t 00" which will force a reboot with a 0s timeout.

We never recommend a 0 second timeout on the shutdown command. 90 seconds is what we recommend. This is because the kbox needs time to tell the server that it finished the task. otherwise the task will not register as complete and the kbox might tell the PC to do it again.

It seems the answer to my original problem was that when the gpupdate is sent by KBOX as System there's not an Active Directory User Profile to be updated. The gpupdate command assumes user and computer policies. The error message is about a file not found. The command can be tailored to updating computer policies only and now this Kscript works great:
%WINDIR%\System32\gpupdate.exe /force /target:computer /sync /boot

Somewhat related, in 5.1 you can run scripts in a "run as" type of way. You can register here:
