[Samba] Missing Policies folder in AD and /var/lib/samba/sysvol

[Rick Hollinbeck]

Rowland,

I took your advice and spun up a Debian bookworm VM and provisioned a 
new dummy DOMAIN.COM with Samba 4.17.12.

And yes, the sysvol Policies folder was created with the two GUIDs.

I zipped up and copied the Policies folders to my active FSMO Samba DC.

Now, running

#samba-tool ntacl sysvolreset

I must still be missing something.

Do I need to do something besides copy the Policies folder to /var/lib?

Is this wiki page still relevant?
