Any time that a file in SYSVOL changed, FRS replicated the entire file to all domain controllers. Starting with domains created in Windows Server 2008, DFSR is the default SYSVOL replication method.
Initially with Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2003 R2, replication was handled by File Replication Service (FRS). You can view junction points by running the dir /AL /S command. In File Explorer, a junction point and a directory look and feel the same. One directory can point to a different directory. Scripts, such as startup scripts that are referenced in a GPO.
The Group Policy container (GPC) is replicated via Active Directory replication.
Group Policy templates (GPTs), which are replicated via SYSVOL replication. The default location is %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSVOL\sysvol for the shared folder, although you can change that during the DC promotion process or anytime thereafter. It is made up of several folders with one being shared and referred to as the SYSVOL share. The system volume (SYSVOL) is a special directory on each DC. This part of the tutorial tells you about SYSOL. Windows 2000 Server was released on Februbut many administrators began working with Active Directory in late 1999 when it was released to manufacturing (RTM) on December 15, 1999. IT administrators have been working with and around Active Directory since the introduction of the technology in Windows 2000 Server.
