Hello Jim,
To trigger Group Policy application for the local computer, type the
following line at a command prompt:
"secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy /enforce" (without the quotation
marks)
To trigger Group Policy application for the currently logged on user, type
the following line at a command prompt:
"secedit /refreshpolicy user_policy /enforce" (without the quotation marks)
In Windows Xp or Windows Server 2003 this has been simplified
Gpupdate /force.
Unfortunately there are some security settings that will not be fully
implemented until a reboot has occurred.
