Why VM keeps losing sync
Even if you configure NTP on a virtual appliance, ESX “helper” programs will try to set the date and time of the VM from the ESX guest. This process will run concurrently with NTP date synchronisation with undefined results. If you have a VM that’s regularly out of sync, make sure your ESX itself has the correct time.
