How can I force GPO updates to take effect on a OU?

I would like to force a policy with Computer Configuration changes to a specific OU? How can I do this?
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks for the reply. Assuming that I have an OU named "Accounting" and a policy called "Firewall", how do I force this using if "gpupdate" if there are multiple computers in the OU? Are you stating that the "gpudate" will do this? If so, what would be the exact syntax?
Thanks,
Chris

"gpupdate /force /boot /logoff" will force new GPO settings and initiate reboot or logoff, if required.
