Windows has a much different authentication than does Linux/Unix. WRT: Clocks on VMWare. VMWare has a number of settings for clock synchronization. I have not looked into this for a while, but AFAIK, you can synchronize with the host, but by default there is no synch. I think this setting is per-VM. All of my VMs run NTP against a host on our intranet.
