I have successfully seized the roles of dead
domain server few weeks ago as described at:

Using Ntdsutil.exe to seize or transfer FSMO roles
to a domain controller
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;255504

Now after some time i runed DCDiag.exe wich give
me this:

//copy-paste//
Running enterprise tests on : xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Starting test: Intersite
......................... xxxxxxxxxxxxx
passed test Intersite
Starting test: FsmoCheck
Warning: DcGetDcName(GC_SERVER_REQUIRED)
call failed, error 1355
A Global Catalog Server could not be
located - All GC's are down.
......................... xxxxxxxxxxxxx
failed test FsmoCheck
//copy-paste//

i tried Ntdsutil.exe again but it wont connect to
server i'm working on and gives me error 80070057?

//copy-paste//
server connections: elgreco
Error 80070057 parsing input - illegal syntax?
//copy-paste//

What should i do now?
 
i just managed to find what was wrong..

in Active Directory and sites old (dead) server
folder remained in Default-First-Site-Name, i
deleted it and FsmoCheck error went away.
all roles are now displayed as it should, i hope
it helps to someone..

i noticed another failure in dcdiag bu i'll open a
new thread for it..
