GPUpdate vs GPUpdate Force command

The gpupdate /force command is probably the most used group policy update command. When you use the /force switch, all the policy settings are reapplied. For most use cases this is perfectly fine, but keep in mind, when you have a lot of group policies objects (GPO) or in a large environment, using the /force will put a huge load on the domain controllers.

If you have a large tenant or a lot of GPO’s, then it’s better to only run gpupdate without the /force switch to apply new policy settings. This will get only the changes or new group policies, reducing the load on the client and domain controllers.
