samba - Jul 2025 - SYSVOL replication Windows to Samba, 2025 best practices

Good Morning to you all

I am currently attempting to replicate SYSVOL from a Windows PDC to a 
Samba AD DC

I have read 
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Rsync_based_SysVol_replication_workaround

and as far as I understand, the source is a samba machine, plus, the 
Wiky is dated 2021


The question is, is there any new method that allow me to replicate/copy 
all the SYSVOL from a Windows PDC to a samba machine ?

Ideally, it is a command that runs on the samba machine

alternatively, I could robocopy from a windows DC to the SYSVOL samba share

or maybe, there is something better


Thanks to you

Try this

You need to replicate by manually copying

You need to do a sysvol reset once you have copied the contents.
