Restoring replication

I have a problem that needs tip: Our main replica server need to be restored.
It has been the main server within a network using merge replications between
around 10 servers with publications and push/pull subscriptions. Now listen
the server was stolen and I need to restore (I got the all the *.mdf files on
a separate ghost-disk) the server. I need some good advice on how to restore
properly. I have also backup-files from all replica-databases plus master
database and distribution database. But I have not any backup on the
MSDB-database. Suggestions?
Best wishes
Basically you are hosed. All of your merge agent job information is gone.
You will have to drop your publications and subscriptions and rebuild from
scratch.
