Disable all vmware tools features except one

Is it possible to disable all features of vmware tools (copy/paste from/to host etc) except the time synchronization?

Ideally during installation, so even if the user wants to they cannot enable them unless they reinstall the tools?

Take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2000399 which explains the MSI options for the VMware Tools installation.

In linux there's this command that updates the clock: ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com

How do I get this command to run at every resume without installing vmware tools?
