No SYSVOL\NETLOGON on 2012 STD DC Server

active-directorydfs-rreplicationwindows-server-2012

I have 2 2012 servers.
I found out there's no share of neither SYSVOL nor NETLOGON on the BDC.

I'm getting many 5002:

The DFS Replication service encountered an error communicating with partner QA-DC for replication group Domain System Volume. 

and 4614:

The DFS replication service initilizaed SYSVOL at local path c:\windows\sysvol\domain and is waiting to perform initial replication

I already tried non-authoritive restore on the BDC and authoritive restore on the PDC according to this guide:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2218556

I'm afraid that didnt help.

Edit:

I found something strange…
Looking at the debug log it looks like dev-dc which is my secondary DC, does not even try to communicate with QA-DC which is the PDC. The logs do show this problematic(?) line:

"Cluster Service is not installed or configured. Skipping VCO
Polling".

One more thing I found out is when looking at "DFS Management" snapping I discovered that QA-DC's membership in the "Domain System Volume" is somehow disabled…
