[cifs-protocol] Initial replication of sysvol through FRS

[Matthieu Patou]

Hello dochelp,

I've got a question related to initial replication of sysvol, I've 
noticed that if I join a W2K3 DC to a samba4 domain, where a samba4 DC 
is already the FRS master and all LDAP entries related to FRS are 
created, then the new DC will add entries in CN=<name of sysvol 
object>,CN=File Replication Service,CN=System,DC=w2k,DC=domain,DC=tld 
and under its own object (in OU=Domain 
Controllers,DC=w2k,DC=domain,DC=tld, for instance under 
CN=S1-W2K3R2,OU=Domain Controllers,DC=w2k,DC=domain,DC=tld).

The question that I have is the following: given the fact that the 
nTFRSReplicaSet object for sysvol replication can have a different name 
than "Domain System Volume (SYSVOL share)", and given the fact that 
fRSVersionGUID and fRSReplicaSetGUID are not used as indicated in 
2.3.1.2 NTFRS Replica Set Object and in behavior note <26> (about 
Section 2.3.2.2), how a new DC locate the correct replica-set ?

I somehow have the feeling that it will use frsReplicaSetGUID in order 
to locate the correct replica. If not how ?

Can you explain ?

Thanks.

Matthieu.
