Some file from my inetsrv directory (c:\windows\system32\inetsrv) were accidentally removed. Is there a way to get them back? Reinstalling IIS server role doesn't help, because Windows doesn't remove inetsrv directory when removing the role. Copying files from another Server 2008 machine doesn't help neither.

Copying the files from another server should work, but it would have to be at the same patch level.
Have you tried removing the role, manually deleting the directory and then adding the role back?
