w2k3 server acting goofy after initial exchange 2k3 install




my setup:

2 virtual PCs:

VPC1 - w2k3 enterprise edition, domain controller, dns, dhcp, file
server, and JUST installed exchange 2k3.

VPC2- win xp, just a normal client machine.

after the install, it said that exchange was installed successfully,
blah blah blah, and that the machine needed to be restarted. ok cool.
so it's doing its thing, but now it takes about an hour for it to get to
the login screen. its getting stuck at "preparing network connections".
then it takes another 45-60 minutes to login, getting stuck at
"applying computer settings" or something. when im finally able to
login, it doesn't show network connectivity. meaning, there's no icons
in the system tray next to the time. when i go to the control panel and
try to get into my network connections that way, the network connections
never come up. control panel just freezes. i enabled the "expand
network connections" option in the start menu so that i wouldn't have
to go thru the control panel, but the start menu freezes when i try to
open network connections from there, too. all this started happening
after the first reboot after the exchange install. any ideas?
