    Unfortunate that you did not have a backup to restore the DC.

    Did you disjoing and then rejoing the client machines to the domain? Since
    you 'recreated' the domain with the same name and everything, that does not
    mean it is the same name. It now has a brand new SID, and the client
    machines are looking for the original SID, and it does not match. That is
    why you have to disjoing and rejoin. The users will lose their desktops due
    to this, so you have to copy them over manually.

    Maybe next time it would be better to have a backup?
