Would all the servers/IP have to be in Lansweeper's HOSTS file?

Ok I see what you are saying.. I have the information for the computers but not for the users/AD. For documentations sake I did add the DNS server on the Lansweeper server per the documentation. But did not add a conditional forwarder on my DCs so I guess that is what makes the difference.

Is the user information and active directory information scanned ok?

Yes it is an AD domain
when you say AD lookup, what do you mean?
I am using Active Scanning and also IP scanning

These are all VMware guests and I added them to IP scanning. Why is this working?

Is this an active directory domain?
Is active directory lookup working?

I simply added the domain to the host file and it worked.

This won't be possible because active directory relies on DNS to lookup everything (not only host names)
