Problems removing a former Domain Controller from Active Directory

-

we had domain controller go down without opportunity demote using dcpromo.  it global catalog server , dns server.

it not have "protect object accidental deletion" box checked when go properties.

when try delete it, following error:  you not have sufficient privileges to delete cn=maul,ou=domain controllers,dc=domain,dc=loc, or object protected accidental deletion (domain being our actual domain name)

the last thing server had been used test installation of exchange server 2010.  our active directory @ domain , forest functional level of windows server 2008.

if makes difference put replacement server on same vmware server using same mac address , ip different server name prior server

any appreciated

did check settings in site & service also? - http://portal.sivarajan.com/2010/09/access-is-denied-when-demoting-domain.html
