Hi Jonas,
You can't recover the [.dit] files from another DC. What you can do is the
following:
-Seize the FSMO roles that were on the defunct DC.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255504
-Do a metadata cleanup to remove all instances of the old DC

-Format the old DC once the above steps have been taken and re-install from
scratch.
-Do a dcpromo.exe on the newly formated server and add it as a new DC for an
existing domain
Thanks,
Francis Ouellet
