Is your Exchange server also a DC?

This is probably a timing issue where required services have not yet started for Exchange to run. You should be able to get around this problem by creating a startup script to "manually" start these two services.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Yes, the Exchange server is also a DC.
Creating script is the most usefull solution?
Is there another workaround?

i am willing do make script as a last resource.

thanks

Yes, i think that is your best course of action. You need to understand that your configuration goes against Microsoft recommendations and as such you can encounter glitches as you are.

Mark,
Can you enlighten me? How does this configuration go against MS recommendations?

Thank you.
