Very Slow Boot

[Preacher Man]

One of my DCs takes about 17 minutes to fully reboot. I have disabled
unnecessary services. The DC serves as a DNS, WINS, and also a Spam Filter.
I checked the CPU times in the task manager and the highest CPU time (except
for idle) is 7 seconds. Any ideas of how I can speed this up or atleast
check to see what is taking so long.

Thanks,
Preacher Man
