Problem with time sync. Syncs every 5 minutes altough switched off

Hello everybody,

I have a problem with time sync on one of my virtual machines. I have two machines with identical Hardware and Softwareconfig.

I use WMware Workstation 10.0.7 and my host, as well as my guest OS are Windows Server 2003.

I have switched off time sync via VM -> Settings -> Options -> VMware Tools and have enabled domain time sync in the guest OS. I checked the tools.syncTime = "FALSE" entry in the *.vmx file.

On one of my machines everything works as expected and the machine runs synchronized with the DC in the network.

But on the other machine time runs slightly slower (+1,2s every minute) and is synchronized (probably by VMware because there are no entries in the event log of the guest OS) every 5 minutes to the time of the host.

Any ideas what could be the problem?

Just a guess ....

check wether you have an entry in the config.ini that specifies your CPU-speed. Maybe that value is slightly off for whatever reasons ?
