net time \\<computername> /querysntp
To query where it’s getting it’s time from. Can compare to a working machine if possible.
If all looks fine, check Windows Time service. My case, this was disabled which meant the time kept jumping 2hrs ahead every few mins (if I set it back).
w32tm /query /status
On a Windows 2008 R2 and newer server
Or in the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters\NtpServer
Also could be related to vsphere overriding the Windows time.
