Mine was VMWare server 1.0.3 Suse 10.1 guests Windows 2003 Server (yeh I know, why would you do that, just what I was given. We are going to full ESX soon tho) I did find tho if I put Set tools.syncTime = “TRUE” into the .vmx and rebooted without first running vmware-tools and selecting the option to sync with OS it took it out of the .vmx. Weird because ticking it didn't put it in. Thanks anyway, fixed my issue. Bary Gard Yep this works fine. Mine was
