Issue removing Active Directory Domain Services from a DC

I have a 2008 server that crashed on us.  I restored the server as a VM from a backup image we had.  I was trying to run dcpromo to remove this server as a DC.  I get an error that, The operation failed because: Active Directory Domain Services could not transfer the remaining data in the directory partition.  Access is denied.  I cannot force replication in AD Sites and Services.  Is there anything else I can try to gracefully remove this DC?

Please learn how to properly backup and restore DCs.  Doing so incorrectly can trash your entire AD!
