windows 2k server. LONG bootup time

If it's a Domain Controller, anywhere from 4-8 minutes is normal, longer if its got junk for hardware.

You probably disabled the wrong services. Enable them all, then disable them one by one until you find the one that is causing the slowness of loading the personal settings.

Indeed, as Saltin said, the server will take much longer if it is setup as the Domain Controller.

How long are you talking though? Has it gotten worse? Did you make any changes?

Could be a bad NIC or poor network connection(s) if it is taking longer than 10 minutes.
