How to schedule GPO overnight

We have some clients on slow links (128K) and GPOs just cannot be
implemented on that link speed - UNLESS we can schedule them overnight.

Is there any way to schedule this overnight??? It is imperative that they
are *ONLY* updated at night, never at login or in the day.
 
Maybe you could setup a login script that checks the time then executes if
your criteria are met(in the middle of the night). Then perhaps set a
scheduled task to manually update your GPO in the middle of the night. This
may be a long shot but it might be worth a shot.

Thanks for the answer.
I don't want them to run at login but *ONLY* at night.
As far as I've found, the only way to activate GPO are at login, and a
refresh time which can be changed.

The only thing I found is to:
- Activate GPO for <128K, then Login will take 30-60 minutes (Ouch!!)
- Ask users *NOT* to logout, and *NOT* to shut down PC.
- Put GPO refresh time @ maximum (45 days)
- Add a GPUPDATE /FORCE on a schedule overnight
