The Key is to have a valid system state backup.
Just a thought - Maybe he can bring the old DC online, but in a separate
network and not on the same network, run a backup to disk, copy the BKF
file using a USB to the VM, then restore? It will be a few days out of
date, but replication should get it caught up.
That is what I would suggest here, too. I'd put effort into bringing the
old DC online - with network wiring unplugged and run a system state
backup. Restoring the backup on the virtual DC and restoring
non-authoritatively should do the trick. That would involve the least
pain, I guess.

So let me summarize the recommendation:
1) Power up the old DC physical machine, completely off the network.
2) Backup the system state on the old DC; I can use Windows 2000 backup for
this, selecting only the System State item, writing the results into a .BKF
file.
3) Copy the .BKF to removable media and shut down the old DC.
4) Reboot the current virtualized DC in "Directory Services Recovery Mode".
5) Restore the System State via the Windows 2000 backup utility.
6) Restart the virtualized DC.
I've found instructions for performing the restore:

Does this cover it? Any caveats?
