You have a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 organization that was deployed in a multiple-domain environment. In this organization, the network connections between domains are slow, or cross-domain network traffic is restricted.

In this deployment, it takes a long time for the Exchange Management Console to successfully load. For example, it takes 10 minutes to load.

This problem occurs because Exchange Server 2007 tries to connect each domain controller of each domain before the Exchange Management Console is successfully loaded.

To resolve this problem, install Update Rollup 3 for Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 on the server.
