Hi,
Group Policy consists of two parts.
·Computer Configuration. Computer-related policies specify operating
system behavior, desktop behavior, application settings, security
settings, assigned applications options, and computer startup and
shutdown scripts. Computer-related policy settings are applied when the
machine is rebooted and during a periodic refresh of Group Policy.
·User Configuration. User-related policies specify operating system
behavior, desktop settings, application settings, security settings,
assigned and published applications options, user logon and logoff
scripts, and folder redirection options. User-related policy settings
are applied when users log on to the computer and during the periodic
refresh of Group Policy
Any setting placed under the Computer configuration will affect the
Computer object.
Any setting placed under the User configuration will affect the user
object.
So if you wish to deploy to a computer, you must set this setting
within the Computer configuration of the group policy at the same time,
the computer must have read and apply group policy permissions on the
group policy object. The computer object must also be placed below or
within the OU you have linked this group policy to.
Same thing goes with the user.
Good Luck

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.
