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

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).
This host DNS is set to using the VM that is offline.
The fact that this VM is offline is the cause of the DNS related issues he's having.

OK ML is no longer showing me the picture of the IP you found this ESXi Host to be.
is it 192.168.10.14?

Just stop cluttering the thread. We are resolving a down VM not DNS. We realize there are DNS issues from bad configuration. but nothing currently being worked on has a damned thing to do with that.

He was originally connecting to .14 yes. but found it was actually 12 when he checked physically.

Fair enough, I was looking at the problem of him not being able to access the host from vsphere.
But it's a trivial issue.

Sure that's true, but that's not why the VM itself is offline, which is the real issue here. We're trying to figure out why WS can't connect from the fat VMWare client to the ESXi host.

DNS has nothing to do with it. He was connecting by IP. 192.168.10.12. DNS is not required for that. only a subnet.

JB - could WS be denied direct access to the ESXi host because he's running vSphere Web client (you know the control setup vmware has for multiple VM hosts?)

he's not trying to connect to vsphere via a hostname though, he's trying to use an IP address.

log into the 2008 DC and look at it's IP settings and share them if possible.
