I don't know where to start. First off all I had a complete screwed
up AD and no DNS anymore and I couldn't install the DNS anymore. As
no users could login to the DC anymore (the PC's still could access
other PC's which were shared) I demoted and then promoted the AD
again. Now accessibility to the server is here again, however, I
still see all the PC's I can not access the shares anymore and there
are no PC's shown in the Computers in the AD. Is it possible to
reinstate these PC's to the AD whithout joining them new to the new
AD?
Thanks
Since you had only one DC (I presume) you now have an entirely new AD
domain. Remember, even if the name of the server, domain, are identical to
you, they are totally different to the computers (the SIDs aren't the same).
So, alas, you will need to disjoin the domain & join them to the new one.
Your user accounts and groups, etc., will need to be recreated, I would
imagine.
