For PDC it is recommended to use VMware Tool to do time sync and running Windows Time service with nosync option.<br /> <p /> Now for Windows AD member VMware Tool time sync needs to be disabled ? Is this correct . <br /> <p /> <br /> Wed, 03 Jun 2009 19:16:33 GMT vspheredoc http://communities.vmware.com/message/1271615?tstart=0#1271615 2009-06-03T19:16:33Z 5 months, 3 weeks ago 1
