Hello, I use VMware 1.1 on OSX 10.5 and use windows NT SP2 virtual machines. I am trying to stop the synchronization of the time between OSX and Virtual machine. I have unset the VMware tools setting to "synchronize clocks" but when the virtual machine is opened I can obeserve the PC clock suddenly align itself to the mac clock. Anyone know how to prevent this update?

Could it be that the virtual machine is set to synchronize the clock with some server? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307897

That was an interesting idea - my PC knowledge being close to zero! I stopped the clock services as indicated and tried the virtual machine again. Between
I would like to stop this change, pick up the virtual machine with the very time at which I closed it.

In VMware Tools, disable the time synchronization, and remove any time reference in the .vmx file of this VM. After this, set your Windows time to sync which ever way you want it - or keep it completely out of sync if this is what you want. Having network time in use on both on host Mac and the guest Windows should keep them we in sync. http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware_timekeeping.pdf

Thats a great link. Parameters for .vmx file as well as a description of the time management.

For the record I set these parameters in the .VMX file: Quote:
You may also have to stop the automatic synching of some windows services (as per previous thread). I choose the option not to link the virtual machine to anything (such as network). Thanks to all for the feed-back
