GPUPDATE or SECEDIT ?

[Alphaz]

Hello,

I don't really get when I should use gpupdate or secedit... What's the difference between those two commands? It looks to me that they are the same thing...

Thanks in advance for your time

gpupdate serves the same purpose as (and has replaced) "secedit /refreshpolicy"

secedit has many other functions as well, including those to analyze to configure security policies on the host machine. gpupdate is used only to update already configured policies (which can be viewed/configured from the group policy editior).
