This command uses the Get-ControlledGpo cmdlet to get all controlled GPOs in the specified domain. The command passes those GPOs to the Where-Object cmdlet. That cmdlet passes any GPOs that have a state of CHECKED_IN to the current cmdlet. This cmdlet publishes all of those GPOs. If any of the GPOs changed, the changes become live at this time.
