Ok we have no clue of the time these events happened so difficult to say at this point. Best practice is for VMware tools to be installed, with time sync disabled on all domain joined virtual guests. You then configure your ESXi hosts to sync time from your DCs. Give that a try before tracking it down any further.

Think we found the problem. I configured the time of the NTP server on the VMware and now the time isn't changing anymore. I will check this the upcoming days and if it keeps working I'll close up this thread. Nevertheless thank you for your help!
Ok, that probably means the guests have time sync turned on in integration service (vmtools) which conflicts with the windows time service.
Is this a domain member or stand-alone server? Is there internet access available?
This is a domain member. They also have an Exchange server and a Terminal server and they both don't have this problem.

Hi, Bart Manders
This is Chaboon.
You can trouble shoot to time provider (w32time), you use to w32time debug log. you want to w32time debug log enable, see below article.
I just configured this in the Regedit. Will let you know the results!
Do we need to restart the server? Cause it's not creating a log file?
Hi, Bart Manders
This is Chaboon.
If you want to use w32time debug log, not necessary restart the server after change the registry , restart Windows Time service.
Thanks!
This is a domain member.
Might try resetting the time service.
w32tm /unregister
net stop w32time
w32tm /register
net start w32time
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update
net stop w32time
net start w32time
then check
w32tm /query /source
w32tm /query /configuration

Just tried this and will let you know how it went. Cause the time changing problem only happens at night unfortunately. Keep you updated!

It's still not working. The time is still changing especially in the night. See attachments.
