help with secedit command

[Guest rocketz21]

I need to refresh a group policy setting for a windows 2000 pc using secedit

and it doesn't appear to be working.

 

I've tried secedit /enforce or secedit /refreshpolicy

 

It brings up an automatic security config dialog box.

 

Why is this happening?

Because your command is incomplete or incorrect:
