I have been tinkering with a SBS 2003 box that has been restored from backup. One of the annoying things I have come up against was that it wouldn't reboot quickly enough and a "service or hardware" failed to start popup would be there when it finally arrived back at the login dialog
Looking at the event log I saw this error:
Event Type:	Error
Event Source:	Service Control Manager
Event Category:	None
Event ID:	7022
Date:		2/05/2008
Time:		1:36:41 PM
User:		N/A
Computer:	MYDC-01
Description:
The Kerberos Key Distribution Center service hung on starting.
After a fair bit of trial and error I think I have traced it to the custom self signed ssl cert that I installed.
It appears if you use the self signed approach and don't supply the root CA and trust it. A reboot then takes about 15 minutes or more to complete and the above error occurs in the event log.
