Hi,<br />
<br />
In 2012 R2 it's quite easy as this can be performed in the gpmc console itself. <br />
<br />
Since you are into 2008, you can try the powershell method as described in this article <a href="https://blog.thesysadmins.co.uk/group-policy-gpupdate-an-ou-of-computers.html" rel="ugc">https://blog.thesysadmins.co.uk/group-policy-gpupdate-an-ou-of-computers.html</a>&nbsp;which might help you.<br />
<br />
Cheers
