Today I visited a customer that wanted to enable the VMware tools timesync during an automated install of a Windows VM. The customer didn’t want to use powershell / perl or anyother SDK enabled tool. So what’s left?
“C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools\VMwareService.exe” –cmd “vmx.set_option synctime 0 1”
So this command ticks the checkbox for timesync via VMware Tools, which can come in handy when doing RIS alike installs.
Question is why this isn’t enabled by default during the installation of vmware tools?
Hi
Another way is to enable it on the Option -> VMware Tools tab inside the VM settings.
