This one's easily fixed :)   (90% of my production servers are vmware images 
now - makes for quick failover when hardware dies)

1) Install VMWare tools into the client VM
2) shutdown client vm
3) open .vmx file for vm on vmware server.  set tools.syncTime = "TRUE"
4) start up client vm
5) Set the time (and time zone!) correctly in the client VM (ntpdate on 
linux or net time on windows)
6) reboot the client VM

done :)

Now provided your keep the vmware HOST clock synced, your clients will never 
go out :)

Cheers,

DG
