A new build of SBS 2008 can shut down really slow. I mean reallllly slow. 15 or 20 minutes. This is Exchange having problems shutting down while all the other services shut down as well. The fix is simple. Add a script to shutdown in group policy that will shutdown Exchange first.
First create a file named Exchstop.cmd and save it to C:\Windows\Exchstop.cmd. In this file needs to be the following.
net stop msexchangeadtopology /y
net stop msftesql-exchange /y
net stop msexchangeis /y
net stop msexchangesa /y
net stop iisadmin /y
Now in the Default Domain Controller Policy go to
Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Setting > Scripts > Shutdown
Click Add and browse to c:\windows\Exchstop.cmd
Click OK
Now see how fast your server shuts down.

Small typo in the article. First part calls the file exchshut.cmd. The second part with the GPO, you are calling the file exchstop.cmd.
Make sure you only apply the GPO to the PDC (use WMI filter or create a new GPO that will apply to this server only) as other DCs in the SBS domain will not have the Exchange services.
