Why isn't dfsrmig.exe covered in any MCITP book?

  Hey guys. First of all, I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question. I'm currently working for a customer on a migration from a 2003 domain to 2008r2. I've writting an RFC which contains every step, with fallback scenario's and everything you need to know when upgrading domains. This morning, I spoke to a colleague (who's almost AD MCM) asking me if I included the SYSVOL migration, from FRS to DFS, with the dfsrmig.exe tool. I always thought the DFS migration of the SYSVOL folder was done automatically when upgrading the domain functional level to 2008 or above, but apparently, it does not.

  The reason I'm starting this discussion is that the DFS replication of the SYSVOL folder is one of the reasons for this customer to upgrade to 2008. Why is this crucial step not included in any of the MCITP SA of MCITP EA books? I've checked them all - not one of them mentions dfsrmig! They do contain a lot of information about running ADprep and other steps when upgrading domains. Why isn't dfsrmig included?
