In virtual environment, time is an important issue.you can use vmware tools interface, we can configure client machine not to sync its time with host.
The time synchronization checkbox controls only whether time is periodically resynchronized while the virtual machine is running. Even if this box is unselected, VMware Tools by default synchronizes the virtual machine’s time after a few specific events that are likely to leave the time incorrect.
To completely disable time synchronization in the guest, perform one of these options:
Open the virtual machine’s configuration file (.vmx) in a text editor and set these options to zero. If the entries do not exist, add them.
Note: 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled.
tools.syncTime = “0″
time.synchronize.continue = “0″
time.synchronize.restore = “0″
time.synchronize.resume.disk = “0″
time.synchronize.shrink = “0″
time.synchronize.tools.startup = “0″
Select the virtual machine in the VMware Infrastructure Client inventory. On the Summary tab, click Edit Settings, then click the Options tab and select General (under Advanced). Click Configuration Parameters, then click Add Row and add this information:
tools.syncTime = “0″
time.synchronize.continue = “0″
time.synchronize.restore = “0″
time.synchronize.resume.disk = “0″
time.synchronize.shrink = “0″
time.synchronize.tools.startup = “0″
# In some cases, the virtual machine may need to be rebooted.
