Is it possible the extend the Windows Server evaluation period without connecting to the internet? I have run the command below in powershell, the number reduced from 6 to 5, but the evaluation period was not extended. (probably because of no internet connection)
slmgr /rearm

No, it is not possible to extend the Windows Server evaluation period without connecting to the internet. The "slmgr /rearm" command can only be used to reset the evaluation period up to three times, but it requires an internet connection to do so. This command requires administrator privileges to run.

Thank you for your response.
Since I have already run the rearm command offline, will it rearm automatically if i connect to the internet?
I am testing windows server 2022 and seems like the evaluation period can be reset up to 6 times.
