Rebooted SBS2008 now DNS and other Services Wont Work - 1722 RPC server unavailable

SBS2008 running exchange > yes I know its old and is going to be EOL, we are in the process

Was working fine, then did a reboot, now DNS server wont start, Windows Event log, wont start (stuck starting), and a bunch of other services that rely on these wont start either.

Literally nothing has changed with the server, no updates in months, no new programs installed, was only rebooted because SQL server was using too much RAM.

Obviously I cant see the logs because the service wont start, but have copied the log files off the server and opened them up, but there is no info in them pertaining to what went wrong after the reboot because the eventlog service did not start.

When I try to start DNS server I get "Error 1722: The RPC server is unavailable.", getting similar RPC errors on a number of other services, but the RPC service is started and running...

I have tried deleting the logs, multiple reboots in safe mode and selective start, uninstall AV, messing around with network settings, SFC /scanow > found nothing

Please if anyone has any idea, this is very urgent and I am pretty desperate.

RPC error, check network, what is the network connection categorized, private?
Why the reboot rather then use service or ssms to stop/start service for SQL to release the memory, after using ssms to restrict how much memory SQL can use and similarly for exchange both are memory consumers.
Check if all services set to automatic have started.
