Mac Guests wont sync date/time unless 'unlocked' in system preferences
Posted: 19. Jun 2018, 18:05
I have a Mac Guest running on a Mac Host with a snapshot saved.
When I restart the Guest and boot from the snapshot, it shows the date as being a few days ago from when the snapshot was created. In System Preferences/Date & Time I have "Set date and time automatically" checked, however the date still shows the date from a few days ago.
Once I click the lock symbol and 'unlock' the Date & Time settings, the date THEN jumps to the correct date. This is a problem as we have builds running on this guest that need to always have the correct date & time without having someone manually login and unlock the settings page.
Basically the Date & Time on my OSX Guest does not sync until I unlock the settings page. Why doesn't the date auto sync when the VM is booted up and I have 'set date and time automatically' checked.
Please let me know if I need to clarify more on what's happening. Any help is appreciated.
