You have two options

1. Rebuild DC, promote from another DC that is ok.
2. Rebuild DC, recover systemstate.

Other than that, you are done.

Running Windows 2003 server and sometime over the weekend the ntds.nis database was corrupted.

We cannot even perform a lossy repair!! Any help would be appreciated as we are desparate.
