Microsoft Exchange Information Store Service will not start

We are currently running a Windows 2003 domain with 1 Windows 2003 Std and 2 Windows 2000 Std Domain Controllers.  We added the Windows 2003 server about 3 weeks ago.  Transferred all FSMO roles to the Windows 2003 Server after prepping the domain for it.  The Windows 2003 Server is currently running DHCP and is the Fileserver.  DNS was left on the other Windows 2000 Domain Controller.  Installed Exchange 2003 on it 4 days ago, which the installation went fine with no errors.  Now the Microsoft Information Store Service will not start, dissallowing the Database to Mount.  The name of the Windows 2003 Server is ATHFSP02 and the old DC was ATHFSP01.  

The following errors come up in the event viewer:
Event ID: 2103

The Global Catalog was located on the old Domain Controller before.  I just moved it to the new one and it is still haveing the same problem.  If this helps below is the error I get when I try to view the store in system manager.

The action could not be completed because the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service is inavailable.  Be sure the service is running and you have network connectivity to the Microsoft Exchange Server Computer.

operation: Retrieving mount information

Yeah that worked.  Thank you so much!!!
Good job.  I suppose I should have told you it will take a short period to build up and start working - but you found out anyway!

Glad to help.
