Last time I saw this was a Windows 2003 box running on a single processor server. A firmware update helped, but eventually, after replacing the systemboard, we replaced the processor and the issue went away, so the end issue was a bad processor. If it's just one VM that's running slow on 1 host server and the other ones are running OK, (I'd guess you don't run multiple VMs on a single processor box...), then swap the processors round and see if that changes anything. You never know... If the issue stays with that 1 logical server and no others on the VM host, then you need to put a call into VMWare, or trust your experience and knowledge of your environment and put a call into Microsoft. Either way, it sounds like you're in for a bad hair month. On 1/9/07, TSguy92 Lan <tsguy92@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:

I'm really not sure how else to phrase this, we can pull up the clock on the server from the systray, and can visually watch the seconds tick away at extended intervals. (IE - instead of 1 second every second, we'll see 1 second tick, then can have a pause of up to 3-5 seconds before the next second ticks by.) This delay gradually builds up until the server is off from the domain time by several minutes . . obviously this is an issue. On a reboot of this machine, the problem is no longer evident, in fact we rebooted it in the evening to avoid production down time, all was good when it came back up, but this morning (shortly after start of business) our time issues showed up again.
