k... here is what I did.  
This got pretty deep so I called Microsoft and got an engineer on the line.  Evidentally what happned is when the server died and the system board was changed.  Because of this we started having issues due the whole kerberos password issue that I found on the internet, and the internall equipment change.
The microsoft guy ran some reports and some tests.  Went to all DC's and tried to connect via
\\servername.domain.bla and found that they could not connect to mercury.  Also the DNS just went away on prometheus as well... forgot to mention that one.  But I cannot remember everything he did as I was fighting about 5 other fires at the same time.  That was the main reason I had to call... and that I have 5 free incidents per year.  Here are the links I got after he fixed everything...

I will have to say that calling these people was the best thing I could do in my situation as I was swamped and I was actually having a hard time juggling this with the other issues.  They actually did a good job.  I expected it to be scripted like when you call dell or HP.  but it was not and for that I am thankful.  I will award points for those of you who replied.
Thanks,... If you have any additional questions I will do my best to answer them.

Some other stuff in the email sent to me after fix...

# DC: 3 SITE: 2
# subdomain.domain.com
# Hardware --> Board Changed on the server.
# found that the Secure channel was broken..
# Did reset the secure channel of Mercury with Zeus & PROMETHEUS
# Followed Command:  
***added by Gizneek*** (You have to stop it first then run this)
               netdom resetpwd /server:<PDCe> /userd:<DOMAIN>\<Admin_account> /passwordd:*
# It worked fine..
# On PROMETHEUS zones were not getting populated.. so did run Klist to purge tickets & then tried to reset the secure channel & then ran the following commands:
ipconfig /flushdns
net stop netlogon
net start netlogon
ipconfig /registerdns
# Now were not getting any AD Replication errors: i.e. Logon Failure. Target principle name is incorrect

Hope this helps anyone else that has this issue.
