Raid Crashed lost everything

My church has a Dell t310 server with perc 300s raid. 2 drive failed on the raid and I lost most everything. Unfortunately, my back up drive was removed and I have no backup either. I am in the process of rebuilding the Domain. The users had redirected folders for their Document and OSTs. How can I reattach these computers to the domain and move the userdata to the new accounts. At this point I have just reinstalled SBS2008 in its base with the same name as the old domain. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks

We had a tornado go through the community and we lost power. Appreently the UPS it was on failed too and when we brought it back on line, Windows wouldn't boot. The raid was showing degraded but I got some data off of the 2nd virtual but couldn't get anything off from the windows directory. After I secured what data i could, I did a diagnostics on the arrary and it reported errors on 2 of the 3 drives. when I got the replacement drive, I tried to replace only the 1 that show failed, but when I did the whole raid crashed and I lost everything. I had to rescan the new drives drop the virtuals and readded them. So I am back at reinstalling SBS2008.

I hope to be ready to reattach computers tomorrow, I will let you all know, thanks for your help.
