Tools are loaded, but we are not syncing with the Host. The DC is on another server, which is also running 2008 R2. Same setup. Not syncing with Host. The PDC is configured to sync with time.windows.com 0x1, per Microsoft time setup articles. All of our workstations and other servers have no issue with time sync. Never seen it before. We also have our Vmware time sync with time.windows.com as well. Had an issue way back when when guests were syncing with host regardless of settings so we just got in the habit.

The 2008 R2 server runs faster. Watching the clock it actually tickets about 3 real seconds to 5 seconds on the clock in the console. Needless to say this puts stuff out of sync pretty quick. Looked online and I found a few posts regarding some weird time services, but nothing Microsoft or VMware. Anyone seen this before? The 2003 Server runs normally. I can resync against the DC and they are out of sync by 15 seconds in under a minute. Greg Sweers CEO ACTS360.com<http://www.acts360.com/> P.O.
