Do you have physical access to the server -- or remote hands that do?
We have remote hands typing at the CLI. The remote hands are an office manager, not a tech. Drive time from me to the office is just under eight hours.
If we have anyone here in the Corpus area, let me know.

Oh yeah, that... so they do have backups. But do to another issue, they don't know when their last good backup is. It might be really recent (might be last night!) but they can't check it easily. The lack of remote access and the lack of technical hands there means getting a Veeam recovery system up to verify is a lengthy process.
The "remote hands" is looking for the Veeam recovery now to see what the status is.

It was failing backups that prompted the recent restart that led to not coming back up.
-
What about a check disk?

Tried that, it failed.
Couldn't run. Couldn't run a Scan Disk either. -
Are you unable to logon to the box at all?

Essentials is booting to a CLI? that seems odd. It's the only server in the place I assume?

Already checked the health of the AD?

He can't login.

He can't log in, so that's kinda hard.

I assume this client is going to be virtualizing this workload?
