%WINDIR%\SYSVOL for the SYSVOL. You can either enter a new path here
or click Browse to select the folder. I leave the default settings and click Next to
continue.
25. Verify the summary of your selection, and then click Next to begin the
installation.

New Windows Server 2008 Domain Controller on an Existing Windows
2000/2003/2008 Domain from Restored Backup Media
Windows 2003 introduced the ability to restore an Active Directory from backup media
to reduce the replication traffic required to set up a new domain controller. This functionality
continues with Windows Server 2008. You can use this method to install a new
Windows Server 2008 domain controller only in an existing domain, and the domain
must be prepared from the same server type as the new domain controller.
