When you connect via name, you're most likely using Kerberos authentication, which requires pretty strict time sync (within five minutes by default) between the machine you're connecting from and the one you're connecting to. When you connect via IP address, you're using NTLM authentication, which doesn't care about the time.
So, where is the time incorrect? Like Chris says, your domain-joined machines should all be configured to get their time from Active Directory.

That is the problem all the times are correct, the Primary dc is in a vmware server that had an old dns itself, i corrected this a few days ago and all was working fine, now i cant strart dns on primary dc becasue it fails. the sais dc cannot be contacted, and also exchange is disconected i think i hope is because of this
Check about IPV6 (disable it) and also check the network adapters and the DNS entries for the server
Presumably you have some kind of error messages somewhere?
Ignore Exchange completely until you have your DCs fixed. If the DNS service is not starting, what does the event log say?

The main DC gives me this error when i try to open DNS, The server (domainName) could not be contacted the error was access denied would you like to add it anyway?
Windows was unable to determine whether new Group Policy settings defined by a network administrator should be enforced for this user or computer because this computer's clock is not synchronized with the clock of one of the domain controllers for the domain. Because of this issue, this computer system may not be in compliance with the network administrator’s requirements, and users of this system may not be able to use some functionality on the network. Windows will periodically attempt to retry this operation, and it is possible that either this system or the domain controller will correct the time settings without intervention by an administrator, so the problem will be corrected.
If this issue persists for more than an hour, checking the local system's clock settings to ensure they are accurate and are synchronized with the clocks on the network's domain controllers is one way to resolve this problem. A network administrator may be required to resolve the issue if correcting the local time settings does not address the problem.

Is the DNS service started?
Are you able to run this command from the command line:
nslookup yourdomain.com
Have you run dcdiag to get an overview of any problems?
Have you looked at the event log at all to see if there are any errors?
"It doesn't work" is not sufficient to debug this.

What is 192.168.2.12?
I take it y-group.com is your internal (AD) domain name? If so, your DNS server configuration appears to be wrong. Get that wrong and everything fails.

I'm going offline for a while, so I'll leave this comment in the hope it helps move forward in my absence. I'm sure there are others that can help take this forward as well.
Your Domain Controllers and member servers IP configuration should only include DNS servers that are able to resolve names for your internal AD domain. In more cases than not this means you must use your Domain Controller IPs in the primary / secondary / tertiary / etc DNS server list (IP configurationj).
Verify that the DNS service is running on one (or more) of your servers, then fix any erroneous IP configuration to meet the requirement above. You should get to a state where the nslookup command works and shows the internal IP addresses of your Domain Controllers (in a list).
For example:
DC1:
Primary DNS server: DC2
Secondary DNS server: DC1
DC2:
Primary DNS server: DC1
Secondary DNS server: DC2

DNS server i have the two one ending in 12 ( wich has the problem is the primary) and one ending in 17 which is allowing me at least to browse
one note im not sure if it has to do with anything the 3 servers giving me issues are all in a VMware environment,
This is nuts, the three servers connected to the VMWARE server are not responding unless direct ip, the other 2 physical servers are working just fine.
Is time right on those? If they're all using .12 as primary DNS, and .12 is suspect, take it out of the loop. Make all of the servers use a working DNS server while you fix what might be broken.
Commonality is a useful thing to find in situations like this. For example, if someone had changed the network configuration of the host you could easily lose access to the rest of the network.

Do you have host-guest time sync configured on those, and if so, is the time incorrect on the VMware host server?
Time is ok on all this, later this week i changed the dns on the vm host to the new because the old server had died. but it was fine till this morning. the old server has no record anywere
I got the Ns lookup fixed i made him point to the secondary dc and dns and at least now i can print. but still no exchange
Do the same for Exchange, just in case, that one may need services restarting / a reboot / a good kick.
You do need to look at dcdiag on one of your working DCs. If the DC on VMWare is that unhappy the other DCs will know about it too, it's important to determine exactly how unhappy it is.

holy crap dc-02 has a wrong time and it completely eluded me. i changed it should i restart it?
There should be no need to restart it, but manually changing the time may not be enough to keep the issue from coming back (although if it were previously set to the year 2005, that may indeed be all you have to do).
Run w32tm /query /configuration on DC-02 and post the results here.

Unless DC-02 is the PDC Emulator (it isn't, according to the dcdiag output), this value should be set to NT5DS rather than NTP. It can be set in the registry here:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControl
If you make that change, you'll need to restart the Windows Time service for it to take effect.
It should be set to NT5DS on everything except the DC that holds the PDC Emulator FSMO role (which appears to be YDC01).

This will need to be changed on YDC01. That server needs to get time from a source outside of your environment, like a public NTP server. Microsoft runs one at time.windows.com, and there are a number of others out there. Go to this registry location:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControl
...and set it to this:
time.windows.com,0x9 time-a.nist.gov,0x9 time-b.nist.gov,0x9
If you know the names of specific NTP servers you'd prefer to use, feel free to substitute those, but leave the ,0x9's in there after each one.

That's a significant problem. It means that your domain controllers have been unable to replicate with each other for a very long time. How many total DCs do you have in the domain?
two, i inherit this job from another admin, and i have run into some weird stuff in here. should i turn one off maybe dc 02, i run the last script in the exchange server

This is what I feared would happen when you changed the time on your DCs. 12 years: no amount of hope will put that in an acceptable tombstone lifetime.
You will have to consider demoting and, ideally, rebuilding, some of your domain controllers. Obviously if you have one that's working that should stay exactly as it is.

Looks like you may have some secure-channel issues due to the tombstoned DC, so the first order of business is to get rid of DC-02 (since YDC01 has all of the FSMO roles). You don't have to wipe its OS or anything, but it needs to be removed from AD, and the quickest way to do that will be a forced demotion.
DC-02 appears to be running Windows Server 2008 R2. If so, a forced demotion is initiated by running the dcpromo /forceremoval command. This command removes Active Directory from the server without updating any other DCs in the domain. That's necessary in this case because DC-02 can't authenticate with the other DC.
After the demotion is complete, you'll need to perform a metadata cleanup on YDC01 in order to remove DC-02 from AD. This way, YDC01 won't keep trying to replicate from it.
After the metadata cleanup is complete, DC-02 can be promoted back to a domain controller. Before doing so, you'll want to configure it to use only YDC01 for DNS, as that will be the only valid domain controller remaining in the domain at that time.

To clarify. By demoting I mean forcefully removing DCs from the domain. Overcoming that tombstone lifetime is possible, but not entirely without risk. If it were my problem, and I had a working DC I'd go safety first and force demote then rebuild DCs.
MS have an article covering this situation:

There's no need to do anything in Exchange - this is strictly Active Directory we're working with at the moment. Once the metadata cleanup has been completed, Exchange should be able to locate the only remaining global catalog (YDC01) and use it for authentication.
Dcdiag won't run on a server that isn't a domain controller. Which version of Exchange are you running?

It's likely time is wrong because something else is. What have you set your DNS servers (ipconfig) to?
