I see ESX01 and ESX02. ESX01 has the vcenter file, which is what I am accessing to view the VM's typically but nothing else
earlier - I wonder how many hosts he has?

2 working 1 down. This was walked into

Assuming the other PCs in the office where able to talk to the VM host (VMs on that host) they might have the same IP info setup.
run
ipconfig /all
on a PC on the network that you haven't touched since this problem started.
Also, try pinging the VM Host.

Do you have one physical box with ESXi installed or more than one?

2 separate ESXi hosts that are functional. One in each building

@JaredBusch Must have broken the keyboard out of frustration. One of the keys wasn't working. I'm in now.

Use the TUI to get and show all of the IP info

Perhaps some helpful information
The hardware is running ESXi and has it's own IP address - what is it?
You can find out what the IP of the ESXi server is by going to the data center and looking on the screen
The VM that is the down DC has it's own IP, what is it?

This is using the correct information, verified on the host.

ah so now we know you were connecting to the wrong VMHost.
good. progress.Can you ping it?
-
can you ping it?

@JaredBusch No I can't

@JaredBusch No I can't
Does the host network connection on this host have any activity lights?
-
@wirestyle22 said in Domain Controller Down (VM):
@JaredBusch No I can't
Did you verify the subnet mask on the host?

good call - check the network connection from that server to the switch.
try pinging it from another computer on the network.

No, once he verifies the subnet he needs to begin testing from the ESXi host and not the rest of the network. We have likely finally found the problem.

@wirestyle22 please confirm the subnet mask and DNS on the VMHost in questions.
