I'm a little confused by your description. You say you're deploying the
package to computers but then you also say you're using user groups to
filter its effect. That's not going to work. If its a computer-assigned
package, then you have to control which computers will read the GPO, not
users. The reason gpresults says its empty is that you have nothing in the
per-user part of that GPO (at least, that's what I'm assuming from your
description). If you want to control which *users* get a package, then you
need to deploy that package per-user (under the User Configuration side of
the GPO).

I guess where my confusion is at is in the ability to deploy to
computers. Yes, I would like to deploy to the computers. I was able
to get the deployment to work when I added the deployment to the Users
software policy.

I would like to deploy based on computers, but I guess I don't really
understand how to do that.
