Description
The guest clock is typically initialized from the host clock. Most operating systems expect the hardware clock to be kept in UTC, and this is the default. Windows, however, expects it to be in so called 'local time'.
This path is add boolean options LOCALTIME to section FEATURES on KVM template like this:
FEATURES=[
...
LOCALTIME="yes",
...
]
In libvirt xml this parameter must be outside section <features>.
<featues>
...
<featues>
<clock offset='localtime'/>

It could be solved with
RAW=[TYPE="kvm",DATA="<clock offset='localtime'/>"]
in VM template.

Raw parameters broken in Sunstone 4.4. How to reproduce:
Update VM Template, Open Advanced mode, enter
RAW=[TYPE="kvm",DATA="<clock offset='localtime'/>"]
Press Update
template update correctly. Now open template update again, open Wizard tab and go to Other row. It's show:
RAW Data, type KVM
DATA:
<clock offset='localtime'/>
Any updates on the Sunstone Wizard tab broke raw data. Localtime is very important for Windows guests and should be as a separate parameter. Localtime is separate parameter in proxmox and ganeti.

That is another bug. You can correct RAW data in advanced mode.

For Xen this is:
localtime Is RTC set to localtime? Localtime (Default=0; Value='no|yes')
Vmware - libvirt driver does not support this, so we need to use VIX API for this.
