My physical Windows Server 2016 always boots into Safe mode Safe Mode (Directory Service Mode - DSRM) despite multiple attempts to reboot it remotely.
The below two critical services are stopped and cannot be started manually in the safe mode:
- Active Directory Domain Services
- DNS Server
How can I fix this issue?

Hope the reply provided by Thameur-BOURBITA is helpful.
Meanwhile, this may mean that there is a problem with the system status, which needs to be checked and repaired. Here are some possible methods to fix this issue. Check the event log and look for any events related to domain controller failures or entering safe mode. Check the integrity of system files: Use the command sfc/scannow to check if the system files are damaged and repair them if necessary. Check startup options: Use the msconfig command to check the startup options and select "normal startup". If none of the above measures are effective, consider performing a system restore or recovery.
I hope the information above is helpful.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.
Best Regards, Daisy Zhou
