OK, there was some discussion about this a while back I believe. Time services... you can set your guest servers, your guest DC's or your VM hosts to all sync with NTP. Additionally, you can (under ESXi), sync the guest machines with the ESXi host they live on. IIRC , I believe the best practice is to allow all guest servers to sync with DC (also a guest). What I can't find anything definitive on is if the head-honcho DC should directly sync with an NTP server, or should it have its clock corrected by the VMWare tools on that ESXi host, and let the ESXi server sync with an NTP source instead? -sc ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
