Long adding users to the group in Windows Server 2022
Hello friends I have probably a trivial problem for you guys, but I have no idea how to speed it up. I'm creating a new group in AD (Global - Security). I am adding a user to this group. The pr...
- Group Membership is only evaluated on logon. So, if you change the membership of a user (or a group the user belongs to), you must tell the user to logoff and logon again. Afterwards he should immediately have his new permissions.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a delay in group policy propagation. Group policy is used to distribute security and other settings to computers and users in an Active Directory domain, and it can take some time for changes to propagate throughout the network.
To speed up the process, you can force a group policy update on the computer where you are testing the group membership. You can do this by running the "gpupdate /force" command in an elevated command prompt. This should force the computer to update its group policy settings and recognize the new group membership immediately.
If the user is logged in and you don't want the end user to perform GPupdate then push it from DC, Right click on the OU where the group policy is created then you can see 3rd or 4th option for GPupdate, click on it.
Note: if you have more than 10 DC then I would say not to run because it will reduce the network bandwidth by refreshing the GPO's and sysvol access over SMB port.
