The Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP GPUdate.exe utility replaces the /refreshpolicy switch in Secedit.exe, in Windows 2000.
GPUdate.exe manually updates any changes that are made to group policies, without restarting, or waiting for the default update interval, 5 minutes on domain controllers and 90 minutes on domain members.
The GPUdate.exe syntax is:
GPUpdate \[/Target:\{Computer | User\}\] \[/Force\] \[/Wait:value\] \[/Logoff\] \[/Boot\]
Where:
/Target:\{Computer | User\} can specify that only computer or user policy settings are updated. If you do not use any switch, both user and computer policy settings are updated. /Force reapplies all policy settings, instead of just those that have changed. /Wait:\{value\} sets the number of seconds to wait for policy processing to finish. The default is 600 seconds. Zero (0) means don't wait, and -1 means wait until it is finished. If the time limit expires, the command prompt returns, AND policy processing continues. /Logoff logs you off after the Group Policy settings have been updated, if required, by a client extension, such as Folder Redirection. /Boot restarts your computer after the Group Policy settings have been updated, if required, by a client extension, such as computer-targeted Software Installation.
