Login to DC without Network Connectivity
Hi guys, my network adapter on my DC has been disabled unfortunaly and now iam not able to login anymore (domain not available). Do you know how to login to my DC to be able to restore my Network settings? My guess would to restart in directory restore mode and login with the domain directory password.. but then ?

nvm i just tested it with a VM. i boot in directory restore mode and login with "Administrator" and "Domain Password". Anyway i cant boot the server in Directory Restore Mode because i dont have any options. Safe Boot and Debugging only available to select from. OS is Windows 2008, DC. Mayby this Server is RODC? Any Idea?

Hi , If you are local to the server, then you should be displayed with the login screen, are you able to see the login screen ?
