That is not true. If you don't have the tools or have the sync option, the time syncs with Windows normal time sources. That's why it's an OPTION.

But it's a production environment, and all we loose is DRS and HA.. We don't power down VM's on our production environment, and even if we did then turning back time on 1 host is no big deal as long as you have proper time keeping on your VM's.

So time bomb and what ever media is making this sound like, it has no affection on our servers handling billions today

I have to say I have never seen so many people got from 0 to full blown rage so fast. It makes me think that either 1) They were just looking for ANY excuse to start a rant 2) Are MS/XEN fans again looking for ANY excuse 3) Love starting flame wars from sheer voredom or 4) They are so perfect in their own lives that seeing anything less from anyone else is a cause for rage.

Is this a big problem? Absolutely. Is is the end of the world? Depends on how shaky your world already was. There was a mistake made (like any of us never made any) but a fix is on the way and will hopefully correct the issue. I am more concerned with how frequently problems like this occur which would show an inability to get get things right, than I am with the fact that one happened in the first place. In our environment we have about 70 vm's and this problem (providing it is corrected in a day or two) almost rates as a non-event for us.

Thanks for the confirmation. Is there a definitive way to ascertain what version I am running? (Does 3.5.0, 82663 = U1?)

Everyone's just hoping that there's no "incidents" between now and the time the permanent fix comes out.
