    Hi,

    You are welcome. Thank you so much for your feedback.

    To check the computer configuration on the servers, we have to run as administrator to open CMD. Hope we could have a recheck.

    As for the deployment of google chrome, there will be computer configuration and user configuration. If it is computer configuration, the GPO will be linked to the OU with computer accounts. And the deployment method is assigned.

    If it is user configuration, the GPO will be linked to the OU with user accounts. The deployment method could be published or assigned. If it is published, it will not install automatically when the user logs on to the computer. If we want it installed automatically, we could choose assigned deployment method. Besides, under the Deployment tab, choose "Install this application at logon".

    According to our description, the GPOs work fine on our DC server, but not working on our workstation. May I know what the workstation is, member server or client? If it is client, what the version is?

    Since the GPOs work on the DC server, there will be no problem with the configurations. Then to check whether it is applied or not on the workstation, we could run gpresult /h to check the result report as mentioned before.

    For any question, please feel free to contact us.

    Best regards,
    Hannah Xiong

    Hi,

    GPOs for Computer configuration are not listed in the reports but User Configuration does.

    To display the GPO settings for computer configuration , you have to launch gpresult command with a local administrator account on member machine.
