Every VM software I've ever used automatically syncs the guest OS's clock to the host OS's clock. I've never used VMs in a server context, but do servers not do this too? It seems like the logical solution here.

I've certainly had issues with time sync in the past, and Windows has a wide range of deployment, so I would imagine they can't rely on it.
