samba - Aug 2013 - Add Win2008R2 DC to Samba4 domain

Has anyone successfully added a Win2008R2 DC to a Samba4 domain? 

The issue I am encountering is the sysvol/netlogon shares are not created. I can
manually create them and copy files, but as soon as I demote/forcefully remove
the Samba4 server, the Win2008R2 server refuses to serve requests for the
domain. I cannot even manage it through ADUC.

Indeed, you will need to replicate the sysvol and netlogon shares
manually, we simply don't support those replication protocols at this
point. 

In terms of the Win2008R2 server not taking over the Samba domain,
perhaps DNS is not configured on that DC, or the DNS configuration for
the domain was stored in the replicated database (the bind9 flat file
solution).
