The VMware Tools time synchronization daemon is quite simple and has a few limitations. The guestвЂ™s clock may also fall behind in less common circumstances, such as under heavy load when the guest has not been able to get enough CPU time to handle all its timer interrupts. These are the main cases that VMware Tools time synchronization is meant to handle. It is normal for a guestвЂ™s clock to be behind real time whenever the virtual machine is stopped for a while and then continues running in particular, after a suspend/resume, snapshot, disk shrink, or VMotion operation. VMware Tools time synchronization is designed to be a second line of defense to deal with special cases where a guest operating systemвЂ™s clock falls behind real time despite the built-in catchup mechanism provided in the virtual machine. All that is necessary is that the VMware guestd process is running in the guest and tools.syncTime is set to true. Note that time synchronization in a Linux guest works even if you are not running the VMware Toolbox application. vmx configuration file option tools.syncTime = true to enable time synchronization.

You can enable synchronization from the graphical VMware Toolbox application within the guest. Next, check that time synchronization is turned on.

To enable VMware Tools time synchronization in a guest, first install VMware Tools in the guest operating system. Unlike non-VMware synchronization software, VMware Tools time synchronization works in concert with the built-in catchup feature in VMware virtual machines and avoids turning the clock ahead too far. VMware Tools includes a time synchronization feature that periodically checks the guest operating system clock against the host operating system clock and corrects the guest clock. This could be more than annoying.ДЇrom Timekeeping in VMware Virtual Machines, page 14: On a VMWare environment sometimes guest operating systems may experience synchronization problems resulting into wrong dates and/or times.
