Long story short... My company uses a major antivirus provider that does server based monitoring and control. This has a Mac plugin to do the same for Macs. The plugin got all screwed up and the AV tech support had me run a tool of theirs to clean out the damage to their program.... Well it went a mile to far. It stripped out every program installed, half the standard shell of the server to the point I can not even click to open a txt file in notepad. Most command line functions still work as well as the bulk of AD appears to be intact.
My plan of attack at this point is to get a new AD server online ASAP and transfer the entire AD over to the new server and decommission the current one. I was able to dcpromo a Server 2008 R2 STD server to the domain and most of AD appears to have come over. The problems I am experiencing are the following:
1. I get several errors in dcdiag on both servers.

2. I can open GPMC and see my GPOs but I can not edit them at all. I was able to removed an old GPO and it did replicate to the other server. Any way i can salvage my GPOs?
3. I was planning to move the FSMO rolls over to the new server, but I am worried about the fact that when I go into ADS and click Change Active Directory Domain Controller, I only see the original PDC and not the new server. Obviously I could enter
the FQDN in here, but I am wondering why this didn't connect from the beginning and is this a symptom of something else I haven't discovered. Being that I haven't change the ADDC yet and am nervous about doing so, I haven't moved on to anything else
with the FSMO rolls yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
