/"refreshpolicy" has been replaced by "gpupdate"-
Gpupdate Refreshes local and Active Directory-based Group Policy
settings, including security settings. This command supersedes the now
obsolete /refreshpolicy option for the secedit command.

Syntax
gpupdate [/target:{computer|user}] [/force] [/wait:value] [/logoff]
[/boot]

Parameters
/target:{computer|user}
Processes only the Computer settings or the current User settings. By
default, both the computer settings and the user settings are processed.

/force
Ignores all processing optimizations and reapplies all settings.
/wait:value
Number of seconds that policy processing waits to finish. The default is
600 seconds. 0 means "no wait"; -1 means "wait indefinitely."
/logoff
Logs off after the refresh has completed. This is required for those
Group Policy client-side extensions that do not process on a background
refresh cycle but that do process when the user logs on, such as user
Software Installation and Folder Redirection. This option has no effect
if there are no extensions called that require the user to log off.
/boot
Restarts the computer after the refresh has completed. This is required
for those Group Policy client-side extensions that do not process on a
background refresh cycle but that do process when the computer starts
up, such as computer Software Installation. This option has no effect if
there are no extensions called that require the computer to be
restarted.
/?
Displays help at the command prompt.
