I'm running a Windows 7 guest in VMWare and it is losing as much as 5 seconds per minute. I resynched the time through Windows about 25 minutes ago and it has lost 00:01:20 so far. It is obviously inconsistant as I frequently find the clock to be roughly 2 minutes out of synch with the other computers. A Redhat guest on the same VM stays lock step with other computers that use the same domain time server. I've looked around and found people recommending both using the VMWare synch tool and others suggesting using the guest Windows synch tool. Drift this large seems rediculous and is causing issues with software running on various machines.
What I'm asking is, does anyone know what could be causing this and what I might do to mitigate it? I have a suspicion that VMWare is slewing the clock somehow, but the fact that a different guest OS isn't experiencing it makes me doubt that suspicion.
Thanks.
