"Preparing network connections"

Hi,

What are the possible causes of the "preparing network connections" message
taking 15-20 minutes when a Windows Server 2003 computer reboots ?

I think it happens since I removed my old Exchange 2000 server, which was
also the DNS server.

I do not see it listed anywhere, but maybe I missed a place to check.

BTW, after boot-up, the server is very fast and has no particular problem.

Thank you.

I found a non-existent server listed as a name server in my AD-integrated
zone.

I deleted the record and now the server boots just fine.
