[Autogenerated] I'm now on a Windows
Server 2019 box and let's start off by
looking at the local GP. Oh, so I'm Inna
right click and choose Run and then type
gp edit dot msc. This is a premade MMC
snap in tool that allows us to bring up
the local G P O on this box, and this
works on any Windows server or desktop
machine, and you'll see here that
immediately the GP editor is brought up on
the local GPL local computer policy, and I
can actually right click it and look at
the properties on it and see information
aboutthe local GPO, including versions.
And I even have the option of either
disabling the computer side or the user
side, not a big deal there, but just gives
you some basic configuration on the local
GPO. I'll talk a little bit more about
different sides to the group policy
object, but essentially, this local GPO
exists on every machine. And if I bring up
the file system and I navigate to System
32 you'll notice as I go down here that
there is indeed that group policy folder,
and there are sub folders underneath and
files underneath the GPT that I and II is
simply a configuration file that shows the
version of the GPO in other words, how
many changes have been made to that GPO
and what policy areas have have been
implemented within it. So now, by
contrast, a D Base GPO's exists in active
directory. And if I bring up my active
directory users and computers and I'm
focused on my domain, you'll notice here,
down under the system container. There's
this policies container, and this is that
gpc that I was talking about and you can
see here to GPO's. These are the default
GPO's that get installed in every active
directory domain. And if I want to view
those that could bring up the group Policy
Management Consul Tool Policy Management
console comes up focused on the active
directory domain, and you'll see here I
have a group policy objects container that
lists all the GPO's that air defined in
this domain. In this case, I have the to
default ones the default to main
controllers policy and the default domain
policy. So here you see essentially the
group policy objects to find in the domain
with their corresponding GPC objects in
active directory. And if I bring up file
Explorer, I can access SIS Fall and you'll
see the same two folders underneath the
cyst ball or GPT side of the group policy
object, as you saw in active directory. So
we have now to GPO's defined in this
domain with their corresponding GP C and G P T parts.
