Domain Controller Down (VM)

That's a Windows machine. We need it from ESXi.

Go log in to the VMHost physically and verify the networking. Something is wrong there. likely the subnet.

yes, but that is what i told him to do first and proves the machine functionality.

Basically confirming 100% setup of the windows machine he is using to attempt access to the VMHost

I can still connect to it using the client on the VM previously mentioned though which is using the same ip/subnet. Wouldn't that not be possible?

Depends on the subnets involved. just verify the host itself.

@wirestyle22 no update in 15 minutes? cannot help with no information.

I think they tried to setup replication on the ESXi hosts and when the domain went down it attempted to bring it back up unsuccessfully. I see my DC as having a similar IP as my hosts. Is this proper thinking?

You are back to using improper terms and not logically troubleshooting.
ESXi does not even know or care about your domain.
ESXi only knows and cares about the VM guests configured on it.

@wirestyle22 and you still have not answered the question. What is the network configuration of the VMHost.

Who is "they" and why are there people messing with the systems without coordinating with the people in charge of them? Are these your staff, random managers?

Prior IT or prior MSP if I recall his employer correctly.

What does the term "similar IP" mean to you?

Gotcha. I thought this was going on since you were last in the office or something.

@wirestyle22 do you know how to get this info?

I want to answer your question but I do not have the right credentials. The list I was given at hire is incorrect and I am trying to contact the previous director. The root password is not correct.
