In Active Directory environment, it's important to know:

• All member machines synchronizes with any domain controller.

• In a domain, all domain controllers synchronize from the PDC Emulator (PDCe) of that domain.

• The PDC Emulator of a domain should synchronize with local or NTP.

It's important to consider this when setting the time in vmware or configuring the time sync.
