Deleted an administrative account from the Valid Users group !

I've uninstalled & installed the server again - but afterwards i need to remove the workspaces on client computers. When running
tfs /workspaces /server:<sourceserv> /computer:* /owner:*
i get an error on the client telling me to view the logs on the server; here's what the server displays:

You shouldn't ever get that kind of failure from the app tier. Have you modified the database in any way? Just uninstall and reinstall of the app tier shouldn't have caused this.

Are you able to create a new workspace using "tf workspace /new /s:<server>" ?

In addition to James' questions, are you certain that the application tier version matches the database version? They must both be RTM or both SP1 beta, etc. If you mix SP1 beta data tier with RTM application tier, for example, bad things like this would happen.
