What is the SYSVOL\DOMAIN folder for?

[GregB]

I'm trying to audit SYSVOL$ add and delete activity in my
environment (we had an admin delete a script that hosed a
lot of users). I found the KB articles that warn of FRS
problems with updating the ACLs of the SYSVOL files and
folders. While investigating my options, I noticed that
a folder called DOMAIN, it is a peer to the SYSVOL$
share, gets the same exact updates that SYSVOL$ gets.
I've combed the KB articles and can only find a few
cryptic definitions of this folder, but nothing that
tells me if this folder will serve my purposes or not.

Any clarification or help greately appreciated.
