Canwe have a clear understanding of what you are going through? I see that you are going to take some member servers offline for more than 90 days and they are not domain controllers? and also what roles these servers has?
The question I have is, can I build the server and configure the service, without enabling it until we decide to make the cutover - aka leave it in an offline state and flip the switch when we're ready? Our existing DHCP is on our firewall appliance and I'm not sure how well the database will export/import into Windows DHCP service. So we're thinking this will be built from scratch.

Create your DHCP scope. Configure your server/scope options, reservations, and anything else you need to configure. Then DO NOT activate the scope. The DHCP server will do nothing until you activate the scope.
I am facing an issue that my server is going offline automatically, But the server lights and harddisk lights are working. My applications also not working when the server is gone offline, also I am not able to connect remote desktop connections. I am getting the display on the monitor but my keyboard and mouse are not acting during this situation. after the restart its working but after that again going to offline after couple of hours.
Are you observing any POST error while starting the server? - This will give an idea if any hardware is acting up.
Also, another good indicator is the health LED (Looks like a heartbeat sign) in front of the server - Amber / red indicates issue with the hardware.
Or if you have configured ILO - Check the server health status in ILO.
If all these are saying hardware is ok, then check from the OS side to understand. I would suggest checking the event logs to get OS entries.
Am testing on a server in different domain and receiving Revocation server offline error in the installation.log. We have validated that the windows server has the required root cert and firewall updates are in place to download the crls from the distribution points. We also successfully connect to the beacon from the windows server from a browser - so everything appears fine there.
Below is the extract. Note that we ran a test yesterday and installed the agent on a Linux server with no errors (reported in as expected). So works with Linux but not windows from this other domain. Windows servers in same domain report in fine.
This error almost certainly indicates that the computer has successfully made an HTTPS connection to the beacon, but is subsequently failing to make an HTTPS connection to the server that holds the certificate revocation list identified in the certificate configured on the beacon.
It's possible to configure the agent to skip checking the certificate revocation list by setting the agent's CheckCertificateRevocation preference to "false". However if it is possible to work out the connectivity issues, it is better to avoid disabling the check: presumably whoever configured the certificate for the beacon explicitly added a CRL URL in there because they intend for it to be used to detect if the certificate ever has to be revoked.
Hope you are fine? On such a client can you go to "\Program Files\Windows Server\Bin" from an elevated Powershell command and run Add-WssLocalMachineCert. After that reboot the computer with Restart-Computer from the same Powershell window and check the Essentials Dashboard again?
I retired since then, but just got an emergency call from that client. He wanted to restore some workstation files.
To be real clear, even tho the connector on the workstation is green, the backups stop working, (so can't restore) and the server can't report status such as Antivirus etc. In his case, the backups had stopped in July of 2020 (when he moved to 1903). Because I was no longer monitoring his environment for him, this had been ignored and not found out - (a good reason for support contracts!).
I jumped on his server and saw that all his workstations were reporting 'Offline' in dashboard. I did the usual, checked server services and scratched my head. Turning to google gave me no easy answers either. Deep in a Microsoft thread, I found what I believe is the problem. The Connector. ( )
What has now been reported and verified by many is that the connector has broken each major update of windows 10. So, 1707 to 1709, or the 1903, or the recent 20xxx whatever update. Each time has caused the workstation to stop reporting it's status.
The recommended solution is to Uninstall the connector, at the workstation then reinstall it. The reports are this fixes it nearly every time. So the question the person is asking i am replying too is likely that same issue and I submit that is all the solution will require for him.
I am here today because I'm fearful of that connector tool. In the past when I've run it (and it has been years!) I seem to recall it stepping on the existing user accounts of the machine. If I uninstall it and reinstall it, doesn't it reload the user accounts? How can I reinstall but skip the user steps (if possible), or run it without messing up the existing user - do you know?
a follow up - Indeed uninstalling the connector in the Apps, then reinstalling it clears the problem. My concern about running it and it munging users is no longer a concern. During the run, you initially run it as an admin, then you get to put a user account on. You must use the same user account that was used when it was originally installed or you get a failure message. In my case, I had used Admin during the originally attachments so it went very smoothly and didn't mess up the user accounts already on the machine.
Also - Windows 10 acts differently then Windows 7 during that portion of the run. It's smoother and faster. I did the whole floor of workstations using RDP in about 45 minutes. All good! Backups started running with no effort by me, and the status and report info was updated right away.

Hi we have an old windows 2003 r2 server. It has 9498 version installed on it. This version was working till yesterday but we cannot connect to the servers anymore. The newer versions do not install on these machines. what can we do to get logmein to work on these machines?
2003 R2 service pack 2 32bit system. The app shows enabled but offline and on the central interface shows offline. This is happening on multiple old servers on the same version. The network is active, nothing changed on the server.
Our Windows 2003 R2 server is old software but is a VM as its only use is a basic FTP service and running some old legacy automated command line-based tasks. It is not worth the upgrade to Server 2008 with its more limited functions and tighter security on this particular partition.
We have a Dropbox installed on a Windows Server 2016. In every accounts, when starting it, a popup displays "Your computer is currently offline. Please check your network settings". When putting the mouse cursor over the icon in the icon area, it displays "Connecting...". And when clicking on it, it's displayed "Starting...". Even after hours, Dropbox never completes its startup.
We have another Windows Server 2016 with multiple users with Drobox installed and didn't have those issues on it. I'd like to know if there is a way to trace what Dropbox sees (does it see the network at all?) or the path that it tries to follows, where it's blocked. I tested and
dropbox.com ports and 443 connects normally by making a test with telnet from the host.
