Matthieu,
After reviewing this with the NRPC and DFRS product teams, MS-NRPC 3.5.5.5.1
will be clarified to reflect the following.
"If the Netlogon service is paused, sysvol is not in a ready state, or if the client
is not using a secure RPC then the server must return STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED."
Great, it would have saved me from a trying to figure out what was wrong !
I also confirmed with the DFRS product team that if there is no FRS/DFSR
replication then sysvol data is not populated from the other domain controller.
As a result, sysvol cannot be ready without the data.
Therefore, the answer to your question is: no, sysvol cannot be ready without
any replication engine used.
In case this is useful, this article explains how FRS works on a Windows DC and
how FRS sets the SysvolReady registry entry during SYSVOL creation and
replication.

Section: What Happens When SYSVOL is Created During Domain Controller Promotion
Ok that's fair, FRS/DFSR will one of our next priority I guess !
Let me know when you have a draft of the new doc.
