Make sure the VM uses an external vSwitch then if domain joined the vEthernet should have the static ip address of domain controller listed for DNS and no others such as router or public DNS. If a workgroup member then use your ISP or other public DNS on connection properties. If further assistance is needed I'd try asking for help over here.
