    Hi GaganpreetSingh-6107,

    Please check the ‘OU’ that you have applied the GPO to whether it has only computer systems or does it include users also. If it includes users also, then this group policy will be applied to the systems on which these users will be logged on to. This is the publishing method of installing a package in AD environment wherein the software package will be installed in those systems where the users in selected OUs have logged on to. This software package will be available in ‘Add or Remove Programs’ section of the control panel.

    Similarly, if the OU has computer systems only, and you have applied the GPO as specified in the question, then no computer system or user will be able to install that software package. And if the following GPO setting has been applied with users as well as computer systems in the OU, then when the user logs on to the computer, the software package gets installed and when the computer system starts, the software package gets installed. This is known as assigning method of software package deployment in AD environment.

    Group policy Management --> Select the GPO --> Edit --> Computer Configuration --> Software settings --> Software Installation --> New --> Package --> Type the UNC path of the share where the software package is placed --> Open --> Ok --> Save ’
