Network and Sharing Center Freeze Issue

PROBLEM:
If i right click computer and select “Manage” it hangs
If i right click network connection and select “Network and Sharing center” it hangs
If i go to device manager, it hangs

SOLUTION:
Exchange services were failing to start and kept holding the services on starting that hold up the server. Found that after enabling IPv6 and rebooting the services ran 100% and the server did not freeze anymore.
Also, if you are working on member server or workstation you can try this
Run the following command and reboot the machine.
net localgroup “Administrators” “NT Authority\Local Service” /add

Exchange Server services don’t start automatically on a global catalog server

You can fix the exchange dependency by http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940845

To change the dependencies yourself on a Windows Server 2008-based server, use the values in the following table to determine the appropriate values for the dependencies.

Note If any Windows service cannot start, Exchange Server does not start. This method will not resolve the problem if any Windows service cannot start. However, this method should reduce the time that is required to shut down the server.
