Description
Today the plugin has tools_sync_time set to false by default.
The plugin required an updates to align with the recommended default practices and allow for more recent options in vSphere 7.0 and later as follows:
The following options control VMware Tools settings on the virtual machine:
tools_sync_time: (Optional) Enable the guest operating system to synchronization its clock with the host when the virtual machine is powered on or resumed. Requires VMware Tools to be installed. Default: true.
NOTE: For vSphere 7.0 Update 1 and later.
tools_sync_time_with_host_periodically: (Optional) Enable the guest operating system to periodically synchronize its clock with the host. Default: false.
NOTE: For vSphere 7.0 Update 1 and later. For previous versions, setting tools_sync_time should enable periodic synchronization.
