Unsolved After reboot, windows server 2012r2 VM shows only command prompt
-
I am unable to launch powershell using command prompt. I think powershell file removed from system.
-
I'm with dash. Something is really wrong. What was this server being used for before?

Is this a VM? Can you abandon this machine?

It is application server. Based on client decision, because they do not have any snapshot of VM.

No backups? This is in really bad shape. Really bad.

yes

Best bet might be to take a backup now of the data so that you have a copy of it and reinstall Windows. Windows is not meant to be able to move to GUI without PowerShell.
Have you attempting PowerShell remoting to the box? How are you connecting now, RDP?

Are you just accessing the machine from the console session on the hypervisor right now?
-
If there is no GUI and no PowerShell from the command prompt on the main console, I think that you are screwed.
-
Can you see that the application files are still there?
