Time Sync

[me1973]

I have a VM Machine running Win 7, the time Time is different to that of the host. When machine operates it reads hosts time. I have disabled time sync, but some how still syncs. Seems  issue is only on new processorsTime Sync

Hello!!

for this issue you have 2 way for resolution...

first, you have to configure the NTP Services of the host with your NTP server, and the VMs could syncronize the time correctly

Link for that:VMware Knowledge Base

second, disable for all VMs the time sync with the host and configure all your the operating system to your NTP server or Domain server.

Link for that: VMware Knowledge Base

Hi Thanks for reply

How would i isolate the NTP from host so it uses the VM clock and not host.

The VM is on 1 time zone and the host is on UK time

Thanks

Hello!!

With the Second link, but you dont have to configure your Operative System with some NTP Services, Just set the clock like what you wish!!

Hi

I have done that see below

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"

but for some reason the VM still able to see host.

When i use my software it detects that my VM is different to Host.

My VM is set to 1 day behind host.

When i used my HP probook not a problem

When i updated my bios software on machine then the issue accured

thanks

use this lines to chek something

$vm=get-vm "vm-name" | get-view

$vm.Config.Tools.SyncTimeWithHost

What is the result?

$vm.Config.Tools.SyncTimeWithHost
