You have to join the workstations to the Domain again. It is not the same
Domain no matter if you gave it the same name or not. The profiles won't
work because they are associated with the user's SID from the old crahsed
Domian, so you have to let the workstations create a new profile the first
time the user logs into the new Domain. Once those are created, data from
the old ones can be copied into them.
You mentioned "trusts", a trust is only between two Domains, it does not
apply to servers vs servers or workstations vs servers or workstations vs
workstations.
There is a price to pay when there was no backups made. There is also a
price to pay when there is only one DC in a Domain, had there been two DCs
nothing would have been lost even if there were no backups.
