Configure NTP for VMware Horizon DaaS

To configure Network Time Protocol (NTP) for Horizon DaaS, check the NTP configuration on Windows Server and make modifications as needed.

Procedure

1. Open a command prompt.
2. Check time sync:

   w32tm /query /source

   If the output says Free-running System Clock or Local CMOS Clock, the server is not using NTP.
3. List NTP server list:

   w32tm /query /peers

   If the output shows that the peer list is empty and state pending, the server is not using NTP.
4. Update the peer list:

   w32tm /config /update /manualpeerlist:SPACE_LIMITED_NTP_SERVERS /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes

5. Force sync:

   w32tm /resync /rediscover

6. Check if the server is now using NTP:

   w32tm /query /source

   If the output shows one of the servers in your peer list, the server is now using NTP.
