SYSVOL Restoration

Hey all,
I did a dumb thing here, but I'm hoping there's an easy fix for it.
For whatever reason, the logon script went missing this morning. We didn't
have a backup copy of it around, so I thought I would restore from legato
backup tape and just extract the batch file we need, and copy it over to the
scripts folder. The actual contents of the sysvol were not visible in the
Legato file browser, but I selected it anyway and restored to an alternate
location. Now, you guessed it, I have a SYSVOL replica set in my
c:\backup\sysvol directory that is replicating data with the actual
c:\winnt\sysvol folder.
How can I get rid of the c:\backup folder without taking out the live data?
Thanks in advance
 
It sounds like you will need to reset the junction point using linkd.exe.

You can run "linkd.exe c:\winnt\sysvol\sysvol\domainname.com" to determine
what the link is pointing to. It should point to
c:\winnt\sysvol\sysvol\domain . Use linkd source /d to delete the current
junction that points to the c:\backup sysvol directory

You cancreate the correct junction by typing "Linkd
c:\winnt\sysvol\sysvol\<fully qualified domain name> c:\winnt\sysvol\domain
