Thanks for the quick response. That's the route that I wanted to take.
Happy to see a second on the opinion.
Thanks again...executing plan now.

Make sure you clean out all references to the dead DC before promoing a new
DC with the same name. If you're down to a single DC for the domain, you
might want to consider bringing up another temporary DC with a different
name until you get the cleanup done and have a chance to verify that all
references to the old DC are gone. When that's done and the dust has
settled, you can dcpromo the temporary DC back down.

Subject: [ActiveDir] W2k3 AD DC DR - Need Immediate Help/Advice
Importance: High
Severe issue with and inability to recover (using Tivoli Storage Manager
5.2.2) one of our DCs that just happened to hold the three domain FSMO
roles
occurred yesterday. I've come to the conclusion that it is very, very
unlikely that I'll be able to recover the system state, inclusive of AD
system objects.
The dilemma is as follows:
I've seized the roles and 'technically' things appear to be okay. I need
to
recover this DC as soon as possible. I purposely haven't deleted the DC
from the environment as I want to use the same name. I seem to remember
that there is or was some issue with deleted a defunct DC and then turning
right around and attempting to use the same name again, despite the use of
GUIDs in AD replication. I'm hoping this is something that no longer
applies or that I just misunderstood. But considering the potential impact
I wanted to ask first.
I'm about the crack open the whitepapers and also call MS to ask. Was
hoping this would be a quicker route.
TIA
