How could you go about delegating permissions to allow execute commands 
remotely and have permissions given to run refresh group policy in AD without 
having to make the helpdesk staff domain admins?

Justin, 

sorry for getting into this late and thanks for your kind words about Specops 
Gpudate.

 

Yes, the schema is not modified as you already stated. Specops Gpupdate uses 
Display Specifiers, Display Specifiers are stored in the AD Configuration 
container and thus the need for root domain privileges to add or remove them. 
Display Specifiers are, for those of you that have not heard about them, a 
Microsoft technology used to extend AD related admin tools. If only "normal" 
MMC extension technology is used, then all the Shell related interfaces won't 
show. In the Active Directory Users and Computers case, this means for example 
that you would not be able to search for objects and operate on the result.

 

Specops Gpupdate relies on integrated security, meaning that unless you have 
the permission to for example reboot the computer you will not be able to 
reboot it with Specops Gpupdate either, and unless you have the privileges to 
execute commands remotely and also have the permission to run refresh Group 
Policy you will not be able to do this with Specops Gpupdate. This means that 
if you want to delegate the task to remotely refresh Group Policy with Specops 
Gpupdate, then the users that should perform these tasks need to be delegated 
those permissions. 

 

 

Thanks,

Thorbjörn Sjövold

According to their support forum the users would need to have local admin rights

The gpupdate tool does not extend the schema but rather adds "Display 
Specifiers" to the configuration naming context. I don't have it installed 
right now but I suspect it would be hard to permission that object away from a 
set of users. But you do need the package  installed on every machine in order 
to make it work so that is one form of restriction. Thorbjorn from SpecOps can 
probably answer this better than anyone.

Hoy Justin,

 

I thought once the schema was extended , you could suffice with installing the 
management console on their respective workstations.

I have installed the SpecOps GPUPDATE tool which is really kool and it works, 
however I would like to delegate this function to specific OU's for non domain 
admins.  Any one have any idea how to do that since the schema does not get 
extended?
