PIN sign-in GPO not applying to workstations

Question

I am currently testing Windows server 2012 R2 with Windows 8.1 tablets and cannot get PIN sign-in to work on the client machines, I have disabled local policy processing and all of the management is coming from GP, however when I manually apply the policy
setting using gpedit.msc it works, does anyone of a way to have it read from GPO in domain?

Hi,
Before going further, the setting Turn on PIN sign-in allows users to set up and sign in with PIN. As Don suggested we could check the registry key to confirm if the policy
setting was enabled successfully. If yes, to use PIN sign-in option, 
users need to create a PIN for themselves. After a PIN is created, users should be able to choose to sign in with PIN sign-in option when they log on. After we enabled the turn on PIN sign-in setting, user also need to set the password for sign-in account.
After reset the account, user can use sign-in when user re-logon.
We can follow the steps below to set account password: to create a PIN, the following steps can be referred to as reference:
Step 1: Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Settings.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then click Settings.) 
Step 2: Tap or click Change PC settings, and then tap or click Accounts. 
Step 3: Tap or click Sign-in options, and under PIN, tap or click Add.
If you don't have a password on your account, you'll need to create a password before you can create a PIN. 
Step 4: Confirm your current password and then you can create a PIN.
If there is any question, don’t hesitate to let us know.
