It seems that after I setup SBS Monitoring, that when I reboot my NEW sbs 2003 R2 server – that it hangs at : “Applying computer settings” for about 10 minutes………

Any ideas? New server, new domain, sbs2003 r2, Backup Exec 12, Symantec Endpoint.

This is strange, but since today I have the same.
Here is my story.

I am having some difficulties with my latest installed SBS 2003.
It’s running on VMWare Server with Windows XP as a host.
While I was setting it up, I have shut down the server and made copies of the virtual machine on a NAS and on a USB harddisk.
I have done the same on a weekly basis after finishing the server.
So far, so good, no problems, server has been working like a charm for about 6 weeks.

I made a new copy of the virtual machine today, so I had to shut it down.
After booting it, I saw that it takes about 30 minutes to boot.
It hangs about 10 minutes at “Preparing network connections”.
And then it hangs about 15 minutes at “Applying computer settings”.

Odd …

So I looked at the events and I have some errors in the system events.

Source : Service Control Manager
Event ID : 7022
The Microsoft Exchange Routing Engine service hung on starting.

Source : Service Control Manager
Event ID : 7022
The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) service hung on starting.

Source : Service Control Manager
Event ID : 7022
The World Wide Web Publishing Service service hung on starting.

Isn’t this odd ?
I have tried a few old copies of the virtual machines and they all have this, though the errors started today.

Does anybody have any idea ?
