GPO not applying to users
I am new to Windows Server, and I've been trying to apply GPOs to OUs with no avail. There are plenty of things I'm trying to do, but here is an example of something small that I can't get to work.
I have an OU with all PCs and an OU with all users. I have this rule applied to PCs
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I understand that this policy is not applying for the computers which is located in the specific OU? have you performed a rsop.msc on an affected computers?
Prevent users from installing printer drivers- currently it's set as disabled - This means that the users will be able to install the drivers?

Yes, I would like users within my domain to be able to install printer drivers. I am not familiar with rsop.msc What does it do?

This worked, thanks for your help!
Can you clarify your question a little bit ?
The Policy setting that you've defined for the printer driver is 'disabled' by default. Therefore what exactly are you trying to achieve ? Are you trying to enable that policy in a GPO but the Computer is failing to apply it ?
Where in the GPO did you enable that policy ? Was it in the User Configuration section or the Computer Configuration Section of the GPO ?
Can you try something simpler - like setting a static wallpaper setting within a GPO and see if that works ? The reason i'm asking you to do this is because this configuration setting exists solely within the User Configuration section of a GPO and would clear any doubts on loopback processing being the culprit.
Let me know if any of this helps.
