Question : Group policy propagation to Client PCs

Hi guys,

How can i propagate an GPO to clients in my domain?
I do not want to wait until a client PC restarts or GPO refresh time comes.

I know we can use Secedit or Gpupdate at the clients.

I am using 2K as my DC, and my clients ate 2K and XP.

Thanks
