After a DC crash, you have no ERD, you rebuild based on
documentation (exact domain name, DHCP, DNS... etc.), is
there anyway to reattach the workstations to the domain
without having to manually disconnect and reconnect at
the workstation.

Thanks,

Unfortunately the machine accounts no longer exist and have to be recreated.
You can use netdom to remotely add the machine to the domain if yo know the
local admin of each box.
