Explanation

Note: The options use 'grupdate' which is a typo for 'gpupdate', the Group Policy update command. 'gpupdate /sync' (E) forces Group Policy to refresh and runs synchronously - meaning it waits until the policy is fully applied and confirmed before returning, ensuring the exemption is in effect before the technician attempts to install the camera. 'gpupdate /force' reapplies all policies but does not guarantee the synchronous completion needed for the next action. '/?' displays help text. '/logoff' requires a logoff to apply certain policies. '/bootings' is not a valid flag. The /sync flag is specifically designed to ensure policy application is complete before proceeding.
