How to disable Time inherting from host to VPC
From Andy Nicholas [MSFT])

This is the same information I posted before in this forum, but it will
answer your question about disabling the timesync feature in VPC when
using the VM Additions:

You will need to edit the .vmc file for your virtual machine. The file
uses standard XML, so you can edit it with notepad.

In the .vmc file you need to add the following boolean key and set it to
"false". The key below is in XPath format:

integration/microsoft/components/host_time_sync/enabled

So, under the existing tree you need to make sure the
following XML tags exist:  

<preferences>
<integration>
<microsoft>
<components>
<host_time_sync>
<enabled type="boolean">false</enabled>
</host_time_sync>
</components>
</microsoft>
</integration>
</preferences>

Do NOT add this as a new, separate XML tree. Most likely you've already
got everything up until the "components" XML tag, so you would just
paste this into your .vmc file underneath the tag IF you
don't have a tag already: 

<components>
<host_time_sync>
<enabled type="boolean">false</enabled>
</host_time_sync>
</components>

This works for Virtual Server 2005 also. For VS2005, there is a COM
interface which you can use to change this value (just changes the value
in the XML file for you).
