Answer : What is "NETLOGON" folder or file ?

1.  It's a SHARE.  And you can only share folders which then makes the files inside them available.
2.  To share login scripts (originally in NT4, still there for compatibility and because many people still use NT4 style login scripts; Active Directory has another method of assigning login scripts that does not use the NetLogon share).
3. It is created automatically on Domain Controllers.  You do not need to create it on any other server.
4.  What are your talking about "Where does the PATCH"?  What are you asking?
5.  It's where the logon scripts specified in the user profile must be stored to be executed.
6.  What are you talking about "etc"?
7.  I thought I just did?
8.  Your welcome.

(Note: I use login and logon interchangeably).
