we run a fully virtualized IdM environment on ESX. We did run in time 
synch problems after a server was rebooted for updates, the time was way 
out of sync.

Running ntpdate to synchronize to the ntp server on boot with the 
/etc/sysconfig/ntpdate config file was the solution for us. the iburst 
option in ntp.conf works if your clock skew is not greater than 300 
seconds, but then you do not have login problems either.
