+# Configuring SysVol replication
+
+Configure SSH keys so we can rsync automatically without any user interference. _**Do not use a passphrase**_
+
+Create the key on the _primary_ domain controller
+```
+ssh-keygen -t RSA
+```
+
+Copy the key to the secondary domain controller
+```
+ssh-copy-id root@tobiasdc02
+```
+
+Just SSH in to make sure it's working correctly
+```
+ssh tobiasdc02
+```
+
+Once we're in and confirmed the key is working we can log back out.
+```
+exit
+```
+
+On our primary domain controller we can run the below command as a dry run to make sure that we're able to copy the sysvol folder.
+```
+rsync --dry-run -XAavz --chmod=775 --delete-after  --progress --stats  /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/ root@tobiasdc02:/usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/
+```
+
+If this looks correct then remove the --dry-run part
+```
+rsync -XAavz --chmod=775 --delete-after  --progress --stats  /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/ root@tobiasdc02:/usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/
+```
+
+Finally add an edit the crontab
+```
+crontab -e
+```
+
+Paste in the following to sync every 5 minutes
+```
+*/5 * * * * rsync -XAavz --chmod=775 --delete-after  --progress --stats  /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/ root@tobiasdc02:/usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/ > /var/log/sysvol-replication.log 2>&1
+```
