If you use s3fs, the only thing you may need to do (first test if it is 
still necessary it was with the git version a week ago) is to give group 
Domain Admins, full access to the sysvol share (and recursively all 
subfolders) from a Windows domain member computer (loged in of course as 
a member of the Domain Admins group).
The major problem with ntvfs is that it isn't actively developed anymore 
and hasn't received those protocol dialect updates (smb2-3) which were 
introduced in Vista and 7, and thus it may have compatibility problems 
later (no known problem exist so far)
