Hello,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A.

Based on the description, I understand your question is related to GPO.

Check the GPO is linked to the correct OU containing the target computers. Verify that the GPO is enabled and enforced. By default, the GPO should apply to "Authenticated Users". If you've modified this, ensure the correct groups or users are included.

Check the Event Viewer on the client machines for any Group Policy-related errors. Look for events under Windows Logs > System and Applications and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > GroupPolicy.

Have a nice day.

Best Regards,

Molly
