Thanks for all the input. Changing the clock under Configuration > System > Time only changes for the main node and any type of reboots to the system doesn't fix the issue onthe VMs. VMs come with MSK time. I know other project like OpenNode are looking to provide option for user at create time to set TimeZone.<div>

I did some googling and came across this. It seems pretty simple. You<br>
might try it next time (if there is a next time ;-)<br>

<br>
I've also had a situation where me time was off 4 or 5 hours<br>
(depending on EDT or EST) because Proxmox uses UTC time and my host<br>
uses local time. That can easily be accounted for under Options | Real<br>
Time Clock for each guest. Drove me nuts until I figured this out<br>
because all of my calls were in the future.<br>
