How to Refresh Active Directory Group Membership in Windows.
There are two paths to refresh user group membership in Active Directory and apply new settings or changes without waiting for automatic applies:
- Log off and log in again. This action checks all groups that the user is a member of. (Simplest way)
- Reset Kerberos Tickets cache (Hard way)
Reset Kerberos Tickets cache
笔记: This method will work only for network services supporting Kerberos authentication (as for example access to network printers). The services working only with NTLM authentication still require logoff and logon of a user or Windows restart.
You can get the list of groups the current user is a member of in the Windows PowerShell 或者 命令提示符 (指令管理系统) using the following command:
whoami /groupsor GPResult
gpresult /r笔记: The list of groups a user is a member of is displayed in the section The user is a part of the following security groups.
Kerberos tickets can be reset without the restart of a computer using klist.exe. Klist is included in OS Windows since Windows 7.
