nsan3 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Hi all, I want to run a couple of tests for my clients so I need to set my current system date/time on Win-XP VM to a future setting. Eg:- Current system date/time -> 20-Feb-2017, 9:00 AM Updated system date/time -> 29-Sept-2017, 14:00 PM I tried right-clicking on the taskbar , changing the date/time, but the changes reverts back to the actual date/time. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Togijak Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I think you have something in your system that synchronizes the system time with the net and the VM uses the time from the system = you must change this setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straycat19 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Turn off the Time Sync in the VM and then set the date and time to whatever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
