Short story:
Server 2012 OS, hosting our Exchange 2013 services
Our users/clients said they were all offline, looked and the server would not let us logon saying the trust relationship failed, the computer account was gone from AD, no rhyme or reason as to why.
We rejoin the server back to the domain, reboot...it gets stuck on "please wait" for about 45 minutes and then finally boots into windows server 2012.
The following services are stuck on "starting": MS Exchange frontend transport, ms exchange information store, MS exchange mailbox transport delivery, ms mailbox transport submission, ms exchange rpc client access, ms exchange throttling, ms exchange transport, ms exchange unified messaging, ms exchange unified messaging call router
I'm at a loss as what to do next.
Some errors I've noticed in event viewer that may help:
(there are tons of these)
The Microsoft Exchange Throttling Service encountered an Active Directory error while building an RPC security descriptor. This failure may indicate that no Domain Controllers are available at this time. The service will be stopped. Failure details: System.TimeoutException: Timed out AD operation after 00:00:30

I do not know what to check from here on, it just does not seem like this computer is 100% on the domain.
Can someone please give me some pointers here? I'm at a loss and don't know what to do.
Thank you all very much, I really appreciate your time/help!
