FreeBSD as an Active Directory Domain Controller

I have a AD-DC running Samba43 on FreeBSD-10.3 in a Bhyve vm. I wish to move
it off of that platform and onto a Samba410 or 411 in an iocage jail running on
FreeBSD-12.1.
I can create and provision a DC inside the jail. I can have a samba410
instance in the jail join the domain as a DC. What I cannot seem to have
happen is to replicate the existing DC onto the new DC. I have discovered that
this also seems to be the case for the original DC on a UFS based bhyve jail.
I cannot replicate between two FreeBSD-10.3 UFS vms either.
By replication I mean the ability to transfer the sysvol, USERS, and PROFILES
directory trees between systems and maintain the windows acls already in place.
What I would like to find out is whether it is at all possible to have a
samba-4.10 (or 4.11) based AD on FreeBSD using ZFS with multiple DCs and
replication. Is someone has this working I would appreciate being told how it
is done.
