After P2V VM POST taking too much time in ESXI 6.5

I converted the Windows Server 2008 R2 which is installed on the Physical Server into virtual machine with P2V software. I installed this Virtual machine in Vmware ESXI 6.5. This guest OS takes too long to show desktop icons(After Entering Credentials) and showing blue screen for 10-15 mins. I am using Hardware of HP G6 Server.
Resources Allocated to VM
CPU core =4
Ram =4GB
Virtulization Software = ESXI 6.5
Guest OS = Windows Server 2008 R2

Steps taken for remedy
1) update my firmware.
2) remove unavailable hardware drivers from device manager.

Please find below images for resource utilization of VM.

Is this a Domain Controller / DNS server?

After P2V you should reapply network configuration, to make sure the VM can reach the network and DNS server, and that all network related services can start.
