[Samba] Accidental zone deletion

[Chris Puttick]

Hi 

We have a situation where an MS admin used the AD utilities to tidy up an neighbouring (MS-based) domain but was attached to the wrong DC and deleted the wrongdomain.local zone file (which is apparently a bit of a thing in MS circles); by the time said admin realised the deletion had replicated across DCs on all sites. How do we recreate it, in partiular the contents? Hoping the answer is "just manually create the zone and it'll repopulate". 

Any suggestions welcomed... 

Regards 

Chris
