I had to edit the entry in the machines xml file manually, because the command line approach seems to lead to special character corruption. Also do not copy/paste the line above, as most browsers will give you the wrong quotation marks and most shells are very strict.

Hi,
on Debian the Command is: VBoxManage

I also had to Reboot the Windows Guest, after that the Timesync was disabled.

Thanks

Tadanori: Not sure about a Windows host, but I’m on 3.0.8 r53138 in Ubuntu with WinXP as the guest. I haven’t had any problems with the setting, and my QuickBooks is still running without any time sync messages. It’s running Guest Additions.

Using Guest Additions for Windows,
this GetHostTimeDisabled option is ignored.
Isn’t it ?

VirtualBox Ver.3.0.8 r53138
Host WindowsXP pro SP3 / Inbox is Windows XP SP2, no network-adapter
