@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
Also, calm the f[moderated] down.
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.

OK so then the hypervisor hardware appears to be working. From the hypervisor console you need to check the NIC settings and make sure the netmask, gateway IP address are all accurate.
As a last step if you still can't access the system, check to make sure the switch is working. Connect a laptop to the same switch, with an IP address in the same range as the hypervisor and see if you can ping the hypervisor from that laptop.

damn can't do pictures.
From the ESXi server console - do what JB asked - get the full Network information. You'll have to log into the ESXi console and navigate the DOS like interface to show it.

This is already what he has been doing.

Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 DNS is set to the DC that is inaccessible (primary) with the secondary set to the DC that is on but not working correctly (Secondary).

That is the issue why none of your clients machines can get online.

All of the clients in the network are pointing to a DNS/DHCP server that is offline. The secondary server is pointing to the server that is also offline.

No it is not. WTF are you tlaking about. this is the VMhost. It could care less about the DNS as far as the guests are concerned.

Not what was said at all.
