If you have system state backup,you can reconfigure the dc on same hardware.<br />
If you don't have backup,you have to configure new domain.<br />
This is the problem with single dc on production environment.<br />
Try to recove old server &amp;&nbsp;Thats the only way you can be saved,else there is no option without ADC or backup.<br />

I have a server that lost it's raid configurations. &nbsp;The server was running server 2008 and was the only domain controller in the domain. &nbsp;All other network services were running on virtual servers on this server.<br />

My question is this: &nbsp;How do I rejoin client computers to the domain without loosing all of the user's profies?
