Major active directory failure of Domain Controller...

Error Log Listed below...

I can still log in with admin accounts and DNS and IIS is still working. When attempting to access Active Dir. I receive error...
Naming information cannot be located because:
The specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted.
Also...
The directory Schema is not accessable because:
An invalid directory name was passed
For this reason the new menu my be inaccurate and extention snapins ,y not work properly...

How can this recovered...there was some mention someware of reversing the data that was hidden and tombstone time...

Hello computerlogictic,

On the DC do "net share" , i think your sysvol and netlogon will not be shared in this scenario
If it does not.. You have 2 DC's >  MAIL and CLI-PDC-01
Take backup of Sysvol from DC which has good data
Follow Kb 315457: (this part):

On all domain controllers except the reference domain controller, configure the FRS to be non-authoritative. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.  
2. Locate and then click the BurFlags entry under the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters\Cumulative Replica Sets\GUID
GUID is the GUID of the domain system volume replica set that is shown in the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters\Replica Sets\GUID
3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.  
4. Type D2 for the name of the DWORD, and then press ENTER.

Do D4 on a DC which has all data in sysvol and do D4 on server which is problematic
Make sure to stop frs service before you do so .. and after you change the value to d4 or d2.. restart frs service

This should take care of your issue
Please let me know,
Thanks
Hardeep

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/234790 for locating your FSMO roles. Also run the MPSreports for Directory Services and post the zip it'll show in depth information of replication states, shares, sysvol and other really good stuff to know in this situation. Provide it from both DC's. It will provide domain information but no passwords or other sensitive information.

Make sure you get the one for Directory Services...
