How change permanently datetime...

I checked the user manual, but it doesn't seem to add anything to the discussion.
Maybe I am wrong, but as far as I can see section 9.15.4 just explains the very same command which has already been discussed in the above messages.

Two different approaches with different side effects are discussed in the above thread, and you appeared not to have noticed.

I have a need to disable the host/guest time sync. In following this thread I have entered this Command:

VBoxManage setextradata "Test 32 Bit" VBoxInternal/Devices/VMMDev/0/Config/GetHostTimeDisabled 1

Test 32-bit is a Win 7 guest running on a Win 7 64 Ultimate host. Running VBox version 4.2.10

I have tried the above command with and without the double-quotes and with the guest running and not running. In all instances this is what I get in return:

VBoxManage.exe: error: Failed to create the VirtualBox object!
VBoxManage.exe: error: Code CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE (0x80080005) - Server execution failed (extended info not available)
VBoxManage.exe: error: Most likely, the VirtualBox COM server is not running orfailed to start.

Can anyone explain what I am doing incorrectly?

*edit Command works. The Old_Newbie didn't have VB shutdown, just the VM "Test 32 Bit". I can now set the date and time to anything I want.
