Please help.
You have to restore from backups.
ASKER
we have no backups. Backup was not working. Any other way to get the other server to act as the new dc\dns\dhcp server?
As I know, there is no way to do that without backup on hand specially if the failed DC is the only DC in the AD forest.

I can just run a dc promo and setup a new dc and dns server right? I'll start from scratch not a problem. Is it possible?

simply, the new DC is as same as if you want to setup a new domain (but with the same name of the old one).

Yea it's only about 15 pcs. Do I need the window CD or just a dc promo to add ad and dns servers?
I think you need the media source to complete the installation... but not sue.
