Virtual Machine as Time server

[maxrebo]

We have a Vmware environment and our only Physical DC is set as the time server, this DC will be retiring soon and I need to change the Time server to our Virtual DC.

Whats the best procedure for this? i.e Where would it be best to source its time from? The VMware host?

 

Thanks

Disable time sync with the host, and set the DC to source the time from a reliable NTP pool such as ntp.org

You can also set ntp on the VMware Host, then have the VMs sync from the host.
