Here’s a useful little tool for you administrators out there, SpecOps GPupdate, a handy utility which adds extensions when right clicking on objects within Active Directory.
Normally when I install this there are a few perquisites that need to be installed and no other issues. However on this occasion when installing on a Windows server 2008 R2 machine I received the following when trying to do a gpupdate on a pc:

Must create DependencySource on same Thread as the DependencyObject
Hmm ok, had a look around the config files located in c:\Program Files\Specopssoft\Specops Gpupdate\Specopssoft.Adx.UI.exe.config and with some help from their forums I found that two of the lines are the wrong way around:
Open Specopssoft.Adx.UI.exe.config in notepad
- Locate the 2 lines:
<supportedRuntime version=”v4.0”/>
<supportedRuntime version=”2.0.50727”/>

Clik here to view.
- Swap them around so that they look like this:
<supportedRuntime version=”2.0.50727”/>
<supportedRuntime version=”v4.0”/>
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
Save the file and try running the gpupdate on the remote pc, Voilà! and now all is working.
Hope this helps you out of a sticky Quibble.
