Managing Group Policy from the command line
In addition to using Group Policy Object Editor, you can use command-line tools to manage Group Policy. For example, you can use gpresult to see what policy is in effect and to troubleshoot problems. You can use gpupdate to refresh policy immediately and to specify certain options at the command line.

Gpupdate replaces the Windows 2000 command secedit /refreshpolicy.
