Select 'VMware Tools' e. Unselect 'Synchronize guest time with host and click. When you turn on periodic time synchronization, VMware Tools sets the time of the guest operating system to be the same as the time of the host.
Hi, Can someone peer-check my settings please for my PDC. We have had time slip issues and this is my proposal: Read articles and some blogs from Ace Fekay. Environment • Domain / Forest FL 2003 • All RWDC's / RODC's are 2008 R2 • PDC is virtual running on VMware. It is not syncing with ESX host, it is an NTP server syncing extrernally. All other DC's / Clients using NT5DS (Domain hierarchy). Torrent Imagine You And Me Torrent here.
I have Windows set up to sync time with time. How to force time sync after reverting to a snapshot? Vmware tools will usually sync time from the host when you.
Incidentily the ESX host sync with external time source also. Hi, Thanks for posting here. So have you got any problem with current settings in virtualization environment?
Maybe you can take look the blog post below, some suggestions on how to set NTP service on domain controller in virtualization environment have been discussed in that for reference: Virtualization of Domain Controllers part Deux Virtual Domain Controllers and Time Synchronisation Thanks.

This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread. I have just completed my VMware 5 training and spoke to the tutor about this. He recommeded leaving Active Directory Domain controllers to time sync with ACtive directory (and the hieracrchy that exists with servers and desktops using time) and NOT to use VMware Tools to sync with the ESXi Hosts.
The hosts themselves I have NTP running and point to an external time source (2.us.pool.ntp.org etc) in any case. The only time I had problems was when I DID use vmware tools to sync my virtual guests. Hi there, So is there any reason why those ESXi hosts not synched to the Windows VM (2008 R2 PDC Emulator)? I'm about to do the same thing as you but in my case I'd like to synch all to the Win2008R2 VM as my one source of NTP which is synchronized to the pool.ntp.org /* Server Support Specialist */.
