How to make sure DCPROMO was successful

After the installation, go to the cmd prompt and type Net Share.
At the prompt you will see many files but only 2 files will indicate that the installation was successful with NETLOGON and SYSVOL.
Logon scripts are found in NETLOGON (path is something like harddrive:\windows\SYSVOL\sysvol\domain\SCRIPTS)
Share folders are in SYSVOL.
To make sure you can replicate files, copy a file inside SYSVOL Directory, then check if it replicated to other domain controllers. 
The global catalog also depends on the NETLOGON service, and so do GPOs
