Hello Ted
The interval at which a group policy is refreshed is defined by a refresh
interval value and an offset interval value. The refresh interval is an
amount of time between 0 (zero) and 64800 minutes (45 days), which is used
to determine when the group policy should be applied next. By default, if
the administrator does not modify the default setting, Windows 2000-based
computers use 90-minute intervals. For domain controllers, the default is 5
minutes. This default for domain controllers is used because when a change
to domain policy or rights is made, this reduces the latency in applying the
change to domain controllers as replication occurs. If 0 (zero) is specified
for the refresh interval, the refresh occurs in 7-second intervals.
