I'm an infrequent poster to this list (mostly because I tend to dip in
and out, I often go weeks/months without checking my gmail) but I saw
this and it caught my eye :)

For me, at least, "ntacl sysvolreset" is definitely broken and has
been for the last few years. It's on my list of things I really need
to fix as soon as possible, but I just haven't had enough tuits -
probably because as Rowland says, there hasn't been much discussion of
any breakage and therefore I assume it works for other people. In my
case, it's definitely not working :)

I'm following these bugs in bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12363
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12924

and right now I just tried sysvolreset (I'm running 4.10.6) and got:

set_nt_acl_conn: init_files_struct failed: NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND

HTH!
