# File Name: Fix-Time-Sync.ps1
#
# Description: This script will be used to resolve an issue with VMWare where the VMWare Tools cause a
# time sync with the host. If the host has an incorrect time it will knock the time out of
# sync on the guest. To resolve this issue some text entires need to be made to the VMX
# fix. This is detailed here:
