does this assist ?

Did you ever run the SBSBPA, as Russ suggested earlier on?

Do us a favor and post an unedited ipconfig /all from the server.

Also, please run the following with the switches indicated, and post. They may require two separate posts.

netdiag /v /fix
dcdiag /v /fix
netdom query fsmo

After that, please post any event log errors, just the EventID# and Source names, not the whole error message.

In addition, when looking at all of your services in the Services console, click on the Startup Type, and arrange the view to see all the Automatic startups. Are all services started?

Besides Exchange, what else is installed on the SBS (AV, SQL, etc)?
