Policy commands

There are times when you want to update the policy, and then don’t want to wait for the policy to take affect on the computer. Also sometimes you are not sure what policy is being applied to the computer or user. These two commands will help you save a lot of time.

gpupdate – This will refresh the policy on the current computer. I usually use it with a /force /sync switch. It will require a reboot. Use /? to see other options

gpresult – This will show you what policies are being applied to the computer, and user that is logged in.
