What is the quickest way for a Windows Server VM being provisioned with VMware Tools installed, to insure that time synchronization does NOT occur with the host? These articles discuss using registry entries. Ideally I'd like a way to do this without registry entries. For example, Windows Admin gets new VM and needs to check in the guy that time is NOT synching with the host, but with AD. How can he do this most efficiently, and guarantee that the events referred to in these articles will never cause the tools to sync with the host inadvertently?
