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\.
for give permission
Active directory is held in the sysvol folder in the C drive.
They are stored i the Sysvol folder for easier replication
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
partition which contains systemroot and sysvol folder..
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 Sysvol folder in Active Directory is a critical component that stores scripts, group policies, and other data needed for domain operations. It is replicated across all domain controllers within a domain, ensuring consistency. Key subfolders include "Policies," which contains Group Policy Objects (GPOs), and "Scripts," which holds logon and logoff scripts. The Sysvol folder is essential for maintaining domain-wide settings and enforcing security policies across the network.
SYSVOL folder has all the settings.its a share folder which has database ntds.dit grp policies/templete, logon procedures etc
Unsharing the Sysvol and Netlogon folders on a Windows Server 2008 R2 will disrupt crucial Active Directory functionalities. The Sysvol folder is responsible for replicating domain-wide data, including Group Policy Objects, while the Netlogon folder is essential for logon scripts and domain controller authentication. Without these folders being shared, users and computers may experience login failures, Group Policy application issues, and overall domain functionality can be severely impaired. It is critical to maintain the sharing of these folders for proper Active Directory operations.
A. The group policy container is in the Active Directory databaseb. The Group policy template is in the sysvol folder
yes i think its a folder you can use a folder for about anything
