I suspect so.  My understanding is that they, while not hard to
reproduce (some defines and perhaps some mappings in
source4/dsdb/schema/schema_syntax.c), the code was sadly lost.

The status is per

It would be awesome to have this revived - either by developer interest
or via commercial funding, but it seems you are the first to look over
the code since the prototype was built.

To get the client to try and make calls you would need to patch Samba's
"netlogon" attribute handler to mention we are an ADWS server.

That is, include DS_SERVER_WEBSERV along with the other flags in 
source4/dsdb/samdb/ldb_modules/netlogon.c:fill_netlogon_samlogon_respon
