Hi there,

I am trying to configure "desktop shortcut" GPO for a Google Chrome web page but its not working for a user /or security group. just work for workstations.

if I add workstation it will show up in the gpresult /r but for user its not even showing up.

User Configuration GPO is configured still its not applying to users/groups instead applies to workstation. am i making any mistakes?

please help. thanks

Hi

Make sure domain computer got read in the delegated tab. If you apply a security group and remove authenticated user, the computer account can't read the GPO to apply it.

Thanks

Hello

Thank you for reaching out.

Yes, you can apply GPO to particular Security Group.

1. Please check if the User is member of that Group and also Computer account is in that Group and OU which you want to apply this GPO.
2. On the Client computer please run gpupdate /force then gpresult /h C:\test\gpresult.html to check if the GPO has been applied to that user and computer account.
3. Please have a look on below Microsoft threads discussing the same about chrome shortcut.
