After changing Group Policy in the gpedit.msc...

[AznMaverick]

I'm trying to tweak settings in IE, i'm thinking that just an application restart will be enough, do i need to actually reboot the system or log off before changes take place?

gpupdate /force

is this only in win2k3? doesn't work on win2k

 

[mikecel79]

In Win2k the command is
secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy
or
secedit /refreshpolicy user_policy

However some settings can only be set at login or boot time depending on the policy. You can run secedit /? for a help file on how to use this.

All this information can be found in the Windows 2000 help file.
