| Can you force a computer to login to a certain domain controller for example say you are testing policies and you want your test workstation to only logon using the DC you are working at to write the policies. That way you would pull the newest policies without waiting for replication right if the workstation used DC1 for authentication it would also pull fresh policies from the DC shoot me if I am totally wrong! | |

| I might be missing the point, but why not just open a command prompt on the updated DC and type 'secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy /enforce'. Wouldn't that circumvent the need to point to to a specific domain controller? | |

Don't have the slightest clue what you are trying to say, but typing the following at a command line:
secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy
will force a GPO into effect without having to wait for replication. | |

Yup. that's what I would do.
