If you have a system state backup execute a authoritative restore with
the NTDSUTIL command.

What everyone else said:

Do an authoritative restore with NTDSUtil.

"authoritative restore" is however MISNAMED as
it restores NOTHING -- you must first do a REAL restore,
the use ntsdutil authoriative restore [sic] to MARK the
portions of the database you wish to insist be kept, e.g.,
that OU that was mistakenly deleted and all of it's
contents.
