some vms in a remote site is getting the time out of sync. I do not sync the vm time with esx server. they are part of a domain and should be syncing with the dc. any idea why they are getting out of sync?

Please verify that the VMware tools is not set to sync the machine.

If its not then its most likely improper configuration or issues with the NTP server and/or domain.

Out of curiosity check the time on the physical ESX /ESXi host that the VM is running on. If it matches up to the VM's time chances are its VMware, otherwise probably a Windows OS issue.
