Group Policy Shortcut issue

Dear Experts,

I want to configure desktop shortcuts for the shared folders for some users in different departments. My environment is configured with windows Server 2012 . AD is configured & also all the clients are having windows 7 , Windows 8 & Windows 10 computers I tried my self the below configuration but when i log in with users there is no shortcuts in the desktop.

Created a security group and added those users to this group.
Created a new shortcut group policy .
Did the edit -user configuration-Preferences-Windows Settings-Shortcuts-New-Action-Create .Did the Item Level Targeting. Its not working for me. I have attached the GP pics.
Please suggest me where I am going wrong.

Regards,
JCT

No attachment. Copy the GPP item and past it here in a code tag (it is just XML)

Did you log off after adding the user object to the security group? If not the system does not see you as part of the group yet.

Also check your event logs | application and Services | microsoft | Windows | grouppolicy and see if there are any errors.

As the previous reply, screenshots of each window.

That all looks correct. Can you confirm if the GPP is applying to an OU or the hierarchy of OU's that the User Object resides in?

Group requires read and apply GPO rights, did you assign it?
