    Hello Sham Raj,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I just want to understand what are those names?
    They should be service name.

    Please edit the GPO named "Win2012-General-Server-Security-MS-SQL-COM-Policy" in Group Policy Management on DC, expand Computer Configuration, Preferences, Services. Check if there are service entries ('SQLSERVERAGENT', 'RpcEptMapper', 'SystemEventsBroker', 'SQLAgent$SQL2K16U'), if there are actually these services under Computer Configuration, Preferences, Services, if you do not need them, please delete it and then check the result.

    If you still need them, you cannot delete them.

    Best Regards,
    Daisy Zhou

    Point 5, Registry setting is done within the preference

    Hello Sham Raj,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

    Please troubleshoot the issue as below:

    1.Please check if you have a GPO named "Win2012-General-Server-Security-MS-SQL-COM-Policy" in Group Policy Management on DC.
    The GUID of this GPO is "E417726A-4A78-4C44-A5A0-D59A2764CCDC".

    For example:

    2.Check where this GPO was linked (which OU or domain).

    3.Are these 'SQLSERVERAGENT', 'RpcEptMapper', 'SystemEventsBroker', 'SQLAgent$SQL2K16U' computer names in your domain?

    4.Check if the OU that this GPO linked has machines ('SQLSERVERAGENT', 'RpcEptMapper', 'SystemEventsBroker', 'SQLAgent$SQL2K16U' ) in this OU.

    5.Check if you have configured any group policy preference setting within this OU.

    6.Confirm do you still want to the group policy preference setting apply to these machines.

    Here is a similar thread for your reference.
