settings for all computers in an OU from one central location through the Group Policy Management Console
(GPMC). Or you can use the Invoke-GPUpdate cmdlet to refresh Group Policy for a set of computers, not
limited to the OU structure, for example, if the computers are located in the default computers container. Note:
Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) is a scriptable Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in,
providing a single administrative tool for managing Group Policy across the enterprise. GPMC is the standard
tool for managing Group Policy.

Right.

With Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8, you can remotely refresh Group Policy settings for all computers in an organizational unit (OU) from one central location by using the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC). Or you can use the Invoke-GPUpdate Windows PowerShell cmdlet to refresh Group Policy for a set of computers, including computers that are not within the OU structure—for example, if the computers are located in the default computers container.
