In windows 2000, you could use Secedit /refreshpolicy to force Group Policy to update, without waiting for the default update interval.
Windows XP provides Gpupdate for the same purpose. The syntax is:
GPUpdate [/Target:{Computer | User}] [/Force] [/Wait:value ] [/Logoff] [/Boot]
where:
| [/Target:{Computer | User}] | If the switch is omitted, both Computer and User policy settings are updated. |
| [/Force] | Causes all policy settings to be reapplied, not just the changed settings. |
| [/Wait:nnn] | If you omit this switch, the maximum wait time to complete the processing, and proceed to the next command, is 600 seconds. A nnn of 0 eliminates any wait, while an nnn of -1 will wait until policy processing is finished. If the wait time is exceeded, the next command is processed, but policy processing continues in the background. |
| [/Logoff] | This switch will log you off when policy processing finishes. It should be used if you apply a policy that is only applied during logon, like Folder Redirection. If no such policy was applied, the switch is ignored. |
| [/Boot] | This switch will restart the computer, if you apply a policy that can only be applied during startup, like computer-targeted Software Installation. If no such policy was applied, the switch is ignored. |
