Greetings,
We have 14 DCs in our network, all running W2K3R2 SP2. I had a user call yesterday that said she was having issues with email. Further inspection showed that the NETLOGON share was missing. Then I took a step further and found that it was missing on all DCs in our network. I've done a lot of searching and have found several documents on 'missing sysvol and netlogon'. We are missing some of the policies in the sysvol share, but completely missing the netlogon folder. Articles talk about restoring by setting bur flags. The problem is that from what I read, you need to have an operational DC. While across the network, users are able to access shared resources like email, files and have no problems logging in, since no DC has a NETLOGON share, none would be 'operational'. Below, I'm posting the dcdiag I ran on our FSMO role holder:
