Hello Vijay Reddy, Thank you for posting in our Q&A forum. If you configure the GPO settings on Default domain controller policy, we can check the gpo settings on this Domain Controller as below:
1.Login this Domain Controller with Domain Administrator credential. 2.Open CMD (run as Administrator). 3.Type gpresult /h C:\gpo.html and click Enter. 4.Open gpo.html anc check the advanced audit configuration under "Computer Details".
Or you can run command below on this Domain Controller to check: auditpol /get /category:* >c:\path\filename.txt If the result of this command shows any audit policies, advanced audit policy settings are configured.

Hope the information above is helpful. If you have any question or concern, please feel free to let us know. Best Regards, Daisy Zhou
