I have a domain controller in a subnet B, running Windows 2008 R2 on KVM in a SmartOS zone. The server is not the authoritative time server for the domain. The time server is the PDC Emulator, which is in subnet A. The problem I'm having is the DC running on KVM refuses to sync time with the one in subnet A. The PDCE is a guest on VMware and keeps time no problem for the rest of the domain. I may just need to move the Subnet B domain controller off of KVM if it's an issue, but maybe it's a simple fix. Does anyone know what the problem might be?
One possibility is that there's a mismatch between SmartOS/QEMU passing in UTC time as the hardware clock time to the guest, and Windows expecting the hardware clock to be set to local time.
If the clocks are wildly different, perhaps Windows refuses to sync? Does manually adjusting the time on the SmartOS guest and then triggering a sync work?
If that's indeed the culprit there are tweaks you can do on either side of the virtualization. Registry tweaks in Windows, or hacks on the SmartOS side to pass in what the VM would expect as "local time".
