what exchange roles installed on that server ?
from active directory users and computers .. open the AD group called "Exchange Domain Servers" .. probably your Exchange Server is not there now thats why services wont start ... add it again in that group
can you login? runas deferent user? what is the error you get ? event viewer ?

Ok, did you remove the computer object from AD users and computers console before rejoin it?
if so, restart in safe mode with networking after disjoin it again and delete the computer object then rejoin it and restart normally.
BTW,Do you have a local access ( local administrator) to the server ?

Sulimanw: Yes, I have removed and rejoined successfully.
I have tried a lot of time to disjoin and join again, but when disjoined, I can start as normal.
When I joined, it show applying setting.. and got stuck.
I have a question: For Exchange server 2007, when I disjoin and join again, is there any problem?

"Exchange domain servers" group is created in active directory when you prepare active directory during exchange server installation, it is definitely there. it doesn't matter if you are windows 2003 or 2008
run a search on your active directory for the word "Exchange" , the results should return the "Exchange Domain Servers" group

ok .. you need to take this one step at a time :
1- login with the local administrator account on that server
2- disjoin an rejoin to your domain
3- go to active directory and search for the group i told you about "Exchange domain servers"
4- add your Exchange computer account to this group
5- restart your exchange server.

Thank M-Manakhly.
I don't want to disjoin the Exchange because as I said above, I got stuck at "Applying computer setting".
I don't know how to rejoin my Exchange server from my DC.
Thanks!

dude :)) .. there is no more harm could be done from doing a re-disjoin to the exchange.
do you have the password for the local administrator for that server ?
if so , remove the network cable or wait for the login screen , and login locally whatever way just login locally .. once there disjoing and rejoing..
did you find the group i told you about ?

Yeah,
I found account group and I have added the Exchange server to member of Exchange account.
As you said, if I remove the network cable, how can the Exchange service start?
If I plug the network cable, I get stuck with "Applying computer setting".
