I leave that to you and google. Your other problem is that you probably didn't preserve the SID of you domain and ended up with a new domain (that's why you needed to rejoin clients) the profile of all your user is a new one NTUSER.DAT contains now to sets of registry keys. one corresponding to your old SID and the one to the new. try to restore the original SID on the server.
