hi Rowland

the instruction route the wiki leads you on is
Joining a Samba DC to an Existing Active Directory 
<https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Joining_a_Samba_DC_to_an_Existing_Active_Directory>
i get to the Built-in User & Group ID Mappings section, setup and try 
samba-tool ntacl sysvolreset
no replication has been done yet, which doesn't work so i hop over to
  Sysvol Replication workaround 
<https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/SysVol_replication_%28DFS-R%29>
i choose the rsync option
Rsync based SysVol replication workaround 
<https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Rsync_based_SysVol_replication_workaround>
Setup on all other Domain Controller(s) section implies that you
Make sure, that you haveidentical IDs of built-in groups on all DCs. 
<https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Joining_a_Samba_DC_to_an_Existing_Active_Directory#Built-in_User_.26_Group_ID_Mappings>  
first then do the replication
which brings me back to the Joining a Samba DC to an Existing Active 
Directory page.
my error was doing the sysvol replication last instead of the Built-in 
User & Group ID Mappings
maybe the instruction could be made a bit clearer to do both the rsync 
replication and the identical IDs of built-in groups on all DCs. 
<https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Joining_a_Samba_DC_to_an_Existing_Active_Directory#Built-in_User_.26_Group_ID_Mappings> 
first before the sysvol reset.

as to your answer you were correct there was only a scripts directory 
and no policies directory in the directory folder on new dc
running the rsync command then the sysvol reset completes with no errors

thanks shadrock
