Group Policy refreshes computer accounts on a default schedule of 90 minutes. Rick Vanover shows ways to reduce this schedule when necessary. Group Policy is a great way to deploy settings to users and computers centrally -- unless you wind up waiting for the updates.
The default interval to update the Group Policy to a computer account is 90 minutes; further, there is an offset of minutes. While this schedule is fine for most situations, there may be times when you need to make it shorter for quick updates.
There are various ways to shorten the Group Policy refresh interval. But be careful when you make these changes because it will increase the traffic from domain controllers to computer accounts. A good approach is to tighten the update interval when a number of frequent changes need to be deployed, such as after a move or a major system update. But consider whether a tighter interval is needed, especially because in most cases the updates do not retrieve a new configuration for the computer account.
Right click the policy setting and click Properties. If we enable this setting, we can specify an update rate from 0 to 64, minutes 45 days. If we select 0 minutes, the computer tries to update Group Policy every 7 seconds.
The Set Group Policy refresh interval for computers policy also lets us specify how much the actual update interval varies. To prevent clients with the same update interval from requesting updates simultaneously, the system varies the update interval for each client by a random number of minutes. For example, if we type 30 minutes, the system selects a variance of 0 to 30 minutes. When we enable the policy the update interval rate is set to 90 minutes and refresh interval time to 30 minutes by default.
We could change the settings as per our requirement. We will be applying this policy to a single computer, in our case it could be an OU or group of computers.
Just add them to the security filtering section and close the GP management tool. The Group Policy refresh interval for computers policy also lets you specify how much the actual update interval varies.
For example, if you set the refresh interval to 30 minutes, the system selects a variance of 0 to 30 minutes. Typing a large number establishes a broad range and makes it less likely that client requests overlap. First of all enable this policy. Note — The interval at which the background refresh of a group policy occurs for the computer and the user are maintained separately.
The administrator has the option of modifying these default values or disabling the ability to refresh a group policy in the background. As an example, I am modifying the default values to the one shown in the below screenshot. Click OK. Type rsop.
