The sysVOL folder stores the server's copy of the domain's public files. The contents such as group policy, users etc of the sysvol folder are replicated to all domain controllers in the domain.
The sysvol folder must be located on an NTFS volume The article describes how to use the Burflags registry entry to rebuild each domain controller's copy of the system volume (SYSVOL) tree on all domain controllers in a common Active Directory directory service domain. The term SYSVOL refers to a set of files and folders that reside on the local hard disk of each domain controller in a domain and that are replicated by the File Replication service (FRS).
Network clients access the contents of the SYSVOL tree by using the following shared folders:

The NETLOGON shared folder which includes system policies and user-based logon and logoff scripts for non-Windows Server 2003 and non-Windows 2000 network clients such as clients running Windows 95 Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0.•
Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 system policies.•
Group Policy settings (templates) including Group Policy settings for domain controllers running Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000.
When you add remove or modify the contents in the SYSVOL shared folder FRS replicates the changed contents to the SYSVOL shared folders on all other domain controllers in the domain.

Where the Active Directory held?
Active directory is held in the sysvol folder in the C drive.
When a group policy object is created its content is stored in how many different locations on the server?
A. The group policy container is in the Active Directory databaseb. The Group policy template is in the sysvol folder
What is the SYSVOL folder?
All active directory data base security related information store in SYSVOL folder and its only created on NTFS partition. B: The Sysvol folder on a Windows domain controller is used to replicate file-based data among domain controllers. Because junctions are used within the Sysvol folder structure, Windows NT file system (NTFS) version 5.0 is required on domain controllers throughout a Windows distributed file system (DFS) forest. This is a quote from Microsoft themselves, basically the domain controller info stored in files like your group policy stuff is replicated through this folder structure
When you perform a default restore of Active Directory it will be of this type?
Non-authoritative restore is the default method for restoring Active Directory. Non-authoritative restore of SYSVOL When you non-authoritatively restore the SYSVOL, the local copy of SYSVOL on the restored domain controller is compared with that of its replication partners. After the domain controller restarts, it contacts its replication partners, compares SYSVOL information, and replicate the any necessary changes, bringing it up-to-date with the other domain controllers within the domain. Perform a non-authoritative restore of SYSVOL if at least one other functioning domain controller exists in the domain. This is the default method for restoring SYSVOL and occurs automatically if you perform a non-authoritative restore of the Active Directory. If no other functioning domain controller exists in the domain, then perform a primary restore of the SYSVOL. A primary restore builds a new File Replication service (FRS) database by loading the data present under SYSVOL on the local domain controller. This method is the same as a non-authoritative restore, except that the SYSVOL is marked primary.
Why the ntfs partition is required for the sysvol folder?
for give permission
What shared folder is replicated to each domain controller and stores domain wide information?
SYSVOL folder has all the settings.its a share folder which has database ntds.dit grp policies/templete, logon procedures etc
Where is active directory database held what other folders are related to Active directory?
The Active Directory Database is Stored in %SYSTEM ROOT%\NDTS folder.the active directory uses the sysvol folder as wellThe file is called as ntds.dit. Along with this file there are other files also present in this folder. The files are created when you run dcpromo. The list of files and use of those files are listed below1. ntds.dit : This is the main database file for active directory.2. edb.log : When a transaction performed to ad database, like writing some data first the data will be stored to this file. And after that it will be sent to database. So the system performance will be depends on how this data from edb.log file will be written to ntds.dit3. res1.log : Used as reserve space in the case when drive had low space. It is basically 10MB in size and creted when we run dcpromo.4. res2.log : Same as res1.log. It is also 10MB in size and the purspose also same.5. edb.chk : This file records the transactions committed to ad database. During shutdown, shutdown statement is written to this file. If it is not found when the system rebooted, the ad database tries to check with edb.log for the updated information.Edb corruption or Edb active directory corruption is really serious. However you can get this repaired by using edb repair tool.The Active Directory Database is Stored in %SYSTEM ROOT%\NDTS folder.the active directory uses the sysvol folder as well

In which folder do scripts have to be stored to ensure proper functioning and replication to all domain controllers?
They are stored i the Sysvol folder for easier replication
What are Gpo Components?
The content of a GPO is stored in two locations: the Group Policy container (GPC) and the Group Policy template (GPT).The GPC is an Active Directory object that contains GPO status, version information, WMI filter information, and a list of components that have settings in the GPO. Computers can access the GPC to locate Group Policy templates, and domain controllers can access the GPC to obtain version information. If the domain controller does not have the most recent version of the GPO, replication occurs with the domain controller that has the latest version of the GPO.The Group Policy template is a folder hierarchy in the shared SYSVOL folder on a domain controller. When you create a GPO, Windows Server 2003 creates the corresponding GPT, which contains all Group Policy settings and information, including administrative templates, security, software installation, scripts, and folder redirection settings. Computers connect to the SYSVOL folder to obtain the settings.The name of the GPT folder is the globally unique identifier (GUID) of the GPO that you created. It is identical to the GUID that Active Directory uses to identify the GPO in the GPC. The path to the GPT on a domain controller is systemroot\SYSVOL\sysvol.Rakesh RSISO
Where can you find them group policy container and group policy template?
. The GPT contains the data in a GPO and is stored in the Sysvol in the /Policies sub-directory.
What is the use of sysvol folder?
All security and policy related information are stored in SYSVOL folder that's shared. It's replicate all security & policy related between all DC(Domain Controler). It locate in \\C:\window\.
