Hello, also make sure that the server is pointing to the correct internal DNS server as primary DNS server. Another thing is to run msconfig and disable all startup items except Microsoft ones.

Thanks for suggestions. I will inplement this and revert back. I am still not understand that why my network card taking so long time for coming up. It takes almost 4 min. between this time i able to ping domain controller and DNS server. Is there anything in network card? i reinstalled drivers required for this. I also checked DNS address in WIndows 7 machine.

Hi, Please also update the network card driver to check the result. In addition, you may test the issue in Safe Mode with Networking. What are the results?
