## Video Transcript

This video explains how to force specific systems to have their configuration read immediately instead of waiting for the normal update schedule. To begin, ensure that SysTrack Configure is unlocked by clicking the padlock in the upper right corner. Then navigate to the Administration page. From there, filter for systems by group or by system name. Select the desired systems using shift‑click, enable the Read Configuration option, and click the Run button. Finally, verify that the process was successful by checking the Command Report window.
