Exchange 2010 Services not starting after replacing/upgrading Domain Controllers

After upgrading our domain controllers to Windows Server 2012 our Exchange 2010 server was not allowing connections.  After a reboot it would not allow services to start and would not login completely, it would hang during login process.  After investigation we found Exchnage services trying were start and stopping.  Below are the erros and I'll post what we did to fix in an answer after this post.

Dont mind but you shouldnt be hardcoding Exchnage to use some specific DC as this will arise whenever this new server added will have issues or will be restarted
