How to access group policy of a Windows server 2019 Active Directory DC?

Question

Before I enable AD DC in my Windows server 2019, I had modified some objects in group policy editor (gpedit), but after turning the server into an active directory domain controller, i don't know how to access the local gpedit anymore. mmc.exe doesn't work.

I know how to use the new group policy management to set policies for other computers in my domain, but I don't know how to set policies for my own server AND access previous modified group policy settings of the server before it was turned into an AD DC.

my problem is exactly this. i don't want my server to trust all hosts

there is * in there and the source is a GPO but all 3 of my group policies show this:

so as you can see they are all set to not configured and i can't find the source of that *

when i type mmc.exe in run in server i get this:

I'm logged in as the Administrator into the server.

How can i fix this?

Solution

To identify the source of a policy, run gpresult /h gpresult.html from an elevated command prompt.

To view configured policy, from an elevated command prompt, gpedit.msc

From an elevated command prompt, gpedit.msc

@GregAskew oh gosh thank you very much! it was my fault. i was typing "gpedit" in the run instead of "gpedit.msc" . i probably thought it's like "regedit" that doesn't need the ".msc" extension. if you want you can post it as answer to accept it. Thanks again! :)
