Exchange 2010 VM not shutting down

Did a shutdown as need to increase the RAM of the VM.  Its been sat on the shutting down screen for about 45 minutes.

Log file updated up till about 5 minutes ago.

Would you wait or force a shutdown?

Ok, there was 3x dcs available, 2 remotely over 4mb connection and 1x local.  However the DC that had the FSMO roles etc was offline and came back online during this shutdown,...

Probably the cause then?
