RESOLUTION:
==========
This problem may occur if the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) has been configured to use a certain range of ports for incoming requests, but the range that has been specified is not large enough.
Go into regedit and delet the following registry key (make sure you backup the regitry before making any changes):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Rpc\Internet
Reboot the server.
The checked the DNS console. It should no longer have a red'x' in it
Also all the Exchange services would start.
