# Resolve server offline after reboot with no remote access

## Problem
Server became unresponsive after reboot and cannot be reached remotely. Server does not respond to ping, RDP connections fail, and power cycling does not restore connectivity. No monitor is available at the server location for direct console access.

## Resolution
1. Contact the office and request they connect a monitor to the server
2. Have office staff report what appears on the screen during boot process
3. Based on screen output, diagnose whether the issue is:
   - Boot failure requiring startup repair
   - Network configuration problem
   - Hardware failure requiring on-site visit

Without physical console access or remote connectivity, visual confirmation of the boot process is essential for proper diagnosis and resolution.
