How to change date & time in a virtual machine?

[Oba]

Hi,

I´m running Win7 in a Virtual Box on Win7. The point is that I need to run some tests in the virtual machine with date & time different from the host machine. It seems that the two machines clocks are linked. Is there a way to keep the virtual machine with a different date & time from the host machine?

Sorry for my poor english.

Disable time sync. Run the following in the hosts command window. You need to be in the directory that has VBoxManage.exe for this to work.

Code: Select all

vboxmanage setextradata <vmname> “VBoxInternal/Devices/VMMDev/0/Config/GetHostTimeDisabled” “1″
