Hyper V and ESX with Exchange 2013 issue anyone ever see this?

[anthonyaudi]

Has anyone ever come across this. I have experienced this on 2 different setups. 

 

1) ESX

2) Hyper V

 

I install Microsoft Windows Server 2012 or 2012 R2 on either a VM or a Hyper V. When I reboot the Exchange server the CPU tops out at 100% for a good 15 minutes before things load up. 

Does anyone have an explanation as to why the Microsoft Exchange 2013 in a virtual environment takes so long to boot up?

 

I've looked at all kinds of configuration settings and I cannot figure it out for the life of me. What I find weird is these were both migration installations. In both instances when the Legacy Exchange server was online rebooting the Microsoft Exchange 2013 server had no issues at all. It would boot up in a normal fashion. The minute I decommissioned the Legacy servers the 2013 server takes forever to open up.

 

Any ideas? Anyone ever see this?
