ESX time issues

Hi everyone. I am hoping someone will be able to help me out with my ESX time issues.

I have found lots guests with the wrong time. The time is right on the hosts, but it won't sync to the guests. I have found that this is because the time is running fast, not slow, by a minute.

If I manually set the clock back by a few minutes the time will sync correctly.

I am currently running 3.0.2.

Any suggestions? The environment is quite large, so can't do manual intervention

if the environment is big, I would suggest you a couple of options:

1st option: using VMware Tools, sync with the host (you said that the hosts have the correct time)

2nd option: implement a NTP server, and sync with it your virtual instances

hope it helps you
