I have a Windows Server 2003 system with AD and all of the User and Computer Accounts were accidentally deleted earlier today. I have a complete backup from last night. Does anyone know that proper way to restore JUST the Computer and User accounts, without overwriting other AD items?

Do you have a backup AD controller also?
You will need to need to restore your AD in Authoritative mode using NTDSUTIL.EXE utility.
