help with secedit command

[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:
