According to KB 1189, vmware tools synchronizes the VM's time after specific events, such as vmotion, snapshots, etc... Is this something we want to disable??
Our AD expert is advocating following this KB article to completely disable time schronization between the guest OS and the ESXI host. Is this a good or bad idea?
I have alwasy had the time synched within the guest OS by w32time or ntp and use NTP for synching the ESXi hosts , and disabled the time sychronization between the VM and the ESXI host. And have never had any problems with time synch.
Now this person is claiming becasue the VM will time synch to the ESXi hoast under certian conditions, this will casue the VMs to get out of synch and advocates following 1189 to completely disable this feature.. Should we do this?
