Data sync between host and guest(s)

Hi,

I'm using Fusion 3.0.1 on MacOs X 10.6.2 and have a Vista WM as guest.

For specific reasons, I need to change the date on the Visat WM and go back in 2009 (exactly the 5 No. 2009).

Every times, I'm changing the date on the Vista VM, few minutes after the VM date is reset with the host date.

On the Vista VM, I've unset the automatic synchronization thought internet.

I've alreaded looked on the vmx file without any success and I didn't find any post using the tags 'Date' and 'Sync'

Thanks

Hi,

I found the answer to my question:

On the VMWare tools, it's possible to sync automatically the host and the guest. By default, tthe host will synchronized the gest.

Have a look at the VMWare Tools config in the guest system.

In the VMTools inside the Vista VM disable the 'Time syncronisation between the virtual machine and the host operating system' option.
