I have several sites in Sites and Services in a domain running a number of 2012 servers.
I was wondering how to get a group policy to apply to a site.
I tried putting the "test" group policy on a site in Group Policy as seen in the image below but I'm not seeing apply. I ran gpresult but still not seeing it.
Any ideas on how to get this to work?
Ideally I'd use this for printers, so that if a user travels to another office the printers in that office would apply. I was considering to do it by IP address but thought this may be easier.
I believe I have added all the subnets and that kind of info to the sites and appears to be working properly as users get the closest login server available to them.
Update: I ran RSOP and it doesn't show it either.
I checked my sites and services and everything appears correct in that.

I would recommend using WMI filtering on a computer policy which maps the desired printer.
Create a WMI filter (right click "WMI Filters" in Group Policy Management).
Using the "root\CIMv2" Namespace use the following query (update the default gateway value to match your site):
On the "Scope" tab of the GPO apply the newly created WMI filter.
Another way to do this would be a login script which maps printers for the user based on the current IP but I prefer to only use scripts as a last resort.
