Justin, you wouldn't lose your AD data by deleting NTFRS Jet database. AD data is stored in ntds.dit file under Systemroot\Ntds\ folder.
What you would want to do is to copy everything from SYSTEMROOT\SYSVOL\SYSVOL\DOMAIN.com\ to another folder for backup measures, before you perform that action.
If you read the event 13555, it is explains on how to delete jet database as well. Also, restart your NTFRS & NETLOGON services. Stop NTFRS, and NETLOGON, and then start NETLOGON and then NTFRS.
Hope that helps.

Guys,
I found this article yesterday:

What do you think? When you perform these actions, the idea is that you delete the FRS database and logs, and when you restart the services these will be recreated using replicated information from other DCs in the domain? I think that's the part I'm unclear about: Does this process end with me losing all of my AD data for the problematic domain?
