my sysvol became corrupted when a dc was pulled out of service; due to a company split.

my server is now the primary, but the sysvol is not complete; missing many file/folders, including scripts, etc.  as a result i cannot fully deploy anything in the gpo.

i tried an authoratative restore, but in one case, event log reported it could not create the scripts server share as the system could not find the file specified. (5706,netlogon)

i have no backup of the sysvol, but given the corruption, am perfectly fine setting this back to square 1 and starting over.   i was hoping the d4 flag would do that, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

so what is the easiest and fastest way to get the sysvol folder tree completely reset as if it was a brand new?

i was hoping the ms article would help, but get very confused with the steps, as they seem to relate to installations with many dcs: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/315457

appreciate any help you could offer.

What OS you are using? There are differences between 2003 and later
