Disabling Time Synchronization on a VM

Guys,

I'm trying to disable time synchronization on a VM.  I found the following KB

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1189

I've added the following rows to the VM config paremeters.

tools.syncTime = "false"
time.synchronize.continue = "false"
time.synchronize.restore = "false"
time.synchronize.resume.disk = "false"
time.synchronize.shrink = "false"
time.synchronize.tools.startup = "false"
time.synchronize.tools.enable = "false"
time.synchronize.resume.host = "false"

I've looked at the VMX file and confirmed the entries listed above are present.

However the guest clock seems to be off on occasion.

Should I have uses 0 instead of false?

When entering values in the config paremeters is it case sensitive (should it have been FALSE)?

Yes sir, you might want to give "0" instead of false. It seems that false is supported only on Workstation and GSX.
