Secondary AD doesnt have DNS, cannot restore Primary AD
Have you tried a simple reboot yet?
Also, is there anything in the Eventlog that would be helpful?
I do think you should be able to get basic DNS up and running again. (At least the very basics of the DNS server should work... )
So what happens when you create a non-AD integrated zone? Does this also not work?

Creating a new DNS server should not be a problem. The problem is there isn't anything left of old directory to connect it to.
Yes, but there is nothing essential there that could not be recreated.
All AD DNS entries can be recreated, and all dynamic DNS entries can be recreated.
The only thing "lost" are the static entries, and I guess he would be happy if his Domain would "work" again :)

- Thanks for your response, I have tried:
- reboot
- can't find anything in event logs, any hints where I should be looking? I tried general errors and windows specific to DNS errors but couldn't find anything related to the error
- I can create other domains but not the one my AD is on.
I really need to get this running asap and regretting wholeheartedly of not taking a backup as I should have before formatting
