      When I attempt to download the client that way it attempts to send me to the VMware website which I cannot connect to.

      what DNS server is the 2008 server pointing to?
      change it to 127.0.0.1

      and try again

      Assuming DNS is running on the 2008 server, it should get internet access after you do this. If not, change it to google 8.8.8.8 and try again, if it works, download the client then change it back to the original.

      Problem with that is how is he accessing this? RDP? He could lose access.

      My initial thought as well

      since you have already downlaoded it, can you access the \server\c$ share form anything on the network ? even if not your machine and get the download copied?

      Good idea..

      How are you getting to the 2008 server (is it a VM on this same ESXi server?)? RDP?

        Whatever machine can access it via RDP should be able to hit the admin share

          After loggin into the console on the ESXi (in my case 5.5) I have the option to change the lockdown mode

          https://i.imgur.com/EggE0sq.jpg

          Maybe you can do the same?

              were you able to move the install file from your desktop to the 2008 server?

                @Dashrender Supervisor came in for another update. I should just commit Seppuku. At least then I die as a warrior. Attempting now.

                  Is the supervisor the one and only person asking for updates?

                        what was the error? can you access any network share that comes from that server?

                            No

                            Did you talk to the supervisor about the absolute criticality of them not running interference for you? If you are not managing the situation, who will? If the supervisor is hindering this process, go over their heads. If their manager is not, go over their head. If they can't get their heads out of their asses, call whoever is in charge and explain that these guys are interfering and attempting to halt the process of fixing things. YOU are the fix it person here, you MUST control the situation. Don't let them walk all over you, they are making things worse and it is their job to not let that happen.

                                  They don't give a shit Scott. They want to know what is going on and nothing I say is going to stop them. Trust me. It's wasted energy at this point. I will address it when this is all over and working properly

                                    probably not in a write-able fashion though. so no good

                                    so \192.168.10.x\c$ doesn't prompt you for a password of a network admin.

                                        It might be turned off through GPO or UAC. I know ours is.

                                          I know your office number, I can call and tell them that if you want.

                                          I'm at my wits end honestly but no, thanks. I appreciate everyone's help. I hope you guys know that. Unsure of how I came across in this thread.

                                            Didn't allow me to access it

                                            DId you try by DNS name? that won't work.

                                            \\192.168.10.X\c$ not `\server2008\c$

                                            I'm really distracted and I apologize guys. There are way too many people around me currently. I can access the sysvol folder

                                            Tell them all to go to hell. Seriously.

                                            I learned a long time ago to tell a superior to go to hell because I was doing my damned job. You need to do the same. Because making you not think straight is just prolonging things.
