Microsoft Group Policy Tools

While basic for a lot of people who administer Active Directory Group Policy Objects, a couple of super helpful command line tools for updating and checking applicable GPOs are these:

gpupdate this does a gentle group policy update on the computer
gpupdate /force this does a forceful group policy update and if user-level objects are applied, it will prompt for a logoff
gpresult this one tells you exactly what GPOs are in effect for a given login and computer
