I'm having problems migrating a SBS 2008 to 2008 R2 Standard server.<br />
<br />
I have the new 2008 server added to the domain and updated the ADPREP on the 2008 SBS box. &nbsp;Then promoted to a DC.<br />
<br />
But, the SYSVOL and NETLOGON folders are missing from the share on the newly promoted DC.<br />

Any help would greatly be appreciated.
