For group policy objects in a domain, registry-based group policy settings can be configured from the command line using Powershell. If you are not running on a domain controller, the Group Policy Management Console must be installed.

See Group Policy Cmdlets in Windows PowerShell and in particular the Set-GPRegistryValue cmdlet.

You can of course run a Powershell command from the legacy command line, e.g.,

powershell get-gpregistryvalue -Name gpo-name -Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU -ValueName AUOptions

As far as I know, there is no command-line solution for local group policy. For local group policy, see Glenn's answer.
