hmmm, this will work with kixtart scripts too?

since i'm new to policies, i just want to make sure i understand. on the w2k server, i create the policy, assign/link it to an OU and then i have to issue a gpudate command? i thought policies were automatically pushed the next time a client logged on to the network??? is the gpupdate command issued on the server or on the xp clients? thanks! mart is a always a genious.
