I've got an end user that when I run Group Policy Results on their
laptop -
nothing is showing up under the Computer Configuration for Group Policy.

All of our User Configurations for Group Policy are being applie.

Anyone know why this would happen and how I can fix it?

So the issue is the COMPUTER portion of 1-GPO?

Most likely reasons are:

1) Computer is not in an OU (etc) where the GPO is linked

2) Permissions (unlikely but possible) filtering

3) Computer isn't authenticating -- working off of cached GPOs

4) DC which authenticates Computer isn't fully replicated -- AD or
SysVol

Check Computer location -- ensure it is in an OU etc where other computers
are seeing the results. If so this problem is peculiar to this computer.

Use GPResult to "See" what GPOs are being applied.

Set LogonServer (to see the Authenticating DC)

NetDiag /v (to check the computer for network problems)

DCDiag /c (on every DC to prove that they are replicated and DNS is
working -- especially on the one mentioned in "set
logonserver"
above)
