The command gpupdate /target:${select}
is used to update Group Policy settings on a computer or a group of computers.
Here's a breakdown of the command:

: This is an argument or a parameter provided to specify the target or the scope of the update.${select}

When you run this command, you would replace ${select}
with the actual target for the update. The target can be specified in the command itself. For example, you could use the /target:computername

with the actual name of the computer.

: Updates the Group Policy settings for all computers in a domain.
In summary, the command gpupdate /target:${select}
is used to update Group Policy settings and the target is specified using the /target:${select}
argument, where ${select}
is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual target.
