How to update user access permissions without logging off / on
How to update a user’s access permissions without them having to
Log off and on again, for those cases when they are doing something and can’t log off. This is when you add them to active directory security groups.
1. Modify the permissions
2. On the user’s computer open up a cmd prompt
3. On the user’s computer open up task manager
4. On the user’s computer in task manager kill all explorer.exe
5. On the user’s computer in the cmd box type
Code:
runas /user|domain\user explorer.exe7. Get the user to enter their password
Desktop should now start and any running programs should still be running apart from any
Explorer ones as we closed them.
Result: users SID should have been updated with the new credentials
