They talk about using the Directory Services Restore Mode. You will need that to fix this.

I was about to answer your question in detail, since I have removed improperly removed DC's from AD before. Then I recognized your username
as someone who rejects correct answers.
I had answered your question on how to deploy a servicepack via group policy. I expained to you how to extract the service pack and assign the .msi to the computers, but you rejected the answer.
You will find many people in this forum that will go to great extents to help others solve problems. Joeseph who answered your question is one of them. I will be watching out of curiosity to see if you accept or reject his answer.
Good luck with your problem.

So you want to create another server (I suppose another machine too) with the exact content of the old one. I suppose you have a backup notice with all your TCP/IP and all stuf related to the damaged server. If your sever is not the first one in your network, you'll have no problems, replication will recreate the missing AD informations. If it is the first, meaning it's the global catalogue also, you will have to use the backup of the AD tree. And, most important, before starting from scratch (which is also an option) and recreate the whole AD environment, look very well the articles on how AD restoration should be done.
