I swear I always find an answer after I post something in
here :)

Here is what I did, and I *think* it worked.

Opened up MMC and loaded the Certificates Store for the
Local Computer (while on the Domain Controller), I found
the Certificate I was having troubles with and right
clicked on it, went to All Tasks and then "Renew with
Same Key". This put the private key back into the
certificate.
