Remade developer cert, should I remake Distribution Cert?

Question

So my machine went into service and they wiped it. I was trying to do an ad hoc deployment today and could not get a distribution cert to work, so I was reading threads and revoked my developer cert and made a new one. Now I think I have to remake the distribution cert, because when I try to use it it says it can't find a valid key pair. Even if I found the private key on one of my other machines, having revoked it probably means it won't work.

I had gotten to the point where I thought provisioning was not that bad. Oh well...

Also, provisioning can become a huge hassle sometimes. – StackExchange User Feb 28 '13 at 04:52 — StackExchange User, Feb 28 '13 at 04:52

When you wipe your computer, you lose your public+private key pairs. This results in all certificates becoming invalid, and thus requiring you to remake each and every certificate. Don't forget that intermediate certificate (WWDR)
