Slow clock - time drift in windows guests

Has anyone figured out a good fix for this? Mine has come back with a vengeance this morning, got one Windows Server 2003 that is counting seconds like hundreds or thousands and minutes like seconds, then have another on a different host that is doing the exact opposite, counting seconds almost like minutes. I'm having to put yats32 on the boxes to keep it synced correctly. And a third box I have I migrated live to a different host and it's now counting like the first. I'm running the latest 1.5 version with kernel .24.

Thanks,

Andy
 
The fix I use is to set the following registry keys on new guests:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config\MaxPosPhaseCorrection
-and-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config\MaxNegPhaseCorrection
to the following value:
in hex:
5f5e0ff
-or-
in decimal:
99999999

This just prevents the offset from remaining uncorrected after the first sync attempt.
