Very early in our AD deployment we had one server reporting AD corruption. The other servers were OK. We simply demoted the server, waited for replication so that the server was removed from AD and re-promoted the server. At this point it got a new copy of the database and problem solved. Not that this would work for everyone due to band width, etc, but seemed to work for us.
