I've noticed that a couple of our Server 2008 R2 DCs are saying that Computer Settings in the Local Group Policy are being applied when I run gpresult /r. We haven't intentionally made changes to the Local Group Policy so I ran gpresult /z to see all of the settings being applied and compared this to a server where the Local Group Policy was filtered because it is empty and I'm unable to determine difference. Below are the outputs from both servers, does anyone see which Computer Settings are being applied by Local Group Policy :

You can see in the first code block that the Local Group Policy was filtered out because it was empty where on the second code block Local Group Policy was applied, but how do I know which settings are in there or how can I reset Local Group Policy?
