A rebuild of the server created a new SAM. New SAM = new domain to your
clients. You have to join the clients to the new AD domain.

Yes it is. This is why one of MS's best practices is to add a second DC to
the domain. If one fails the other will hold the SAM of the domain while you
recreate the failed DC. This will eliminate the need to join your users to a
"new" domain.
