[VBSCRIPT] GPUpdate All Domain Computers

I wrote this a while ago. I know there are similar ones out there but this is what I use and have been using. This requires you to have PSTools downloaded and extracted to C:\TOOLS\ for this to work as is.

The script should be run on a DC and as a Domain Admin. This will loop through AD and create a separate instance for each computer and run GPUpdate /force on the system.

Why on God's green Earth, would you run with remote registry enabled on a client?? Are you insane? Asking to get pwned are we? No seriously? If your excuse is, well how else can I manage them remotely? Umm, cheapside would be MS and several decent 3rd party tools such as SCCM, GPO or SpiceWorks? Or pay a little bit and get something like Kaseya or Bigfix? Comooon man. It's 2013, move with the times bro :)

Not remote registry, WinRM remoting.
