The ESXi host must synchronize internal information system clocks to an authoritative time source.
Description
Discussion Text
To ensure the accuracy of the system clock, it must be synchronized with an authoritative time source within DoW. Many system functions, including time-based logon and activity restrictions, automated reports, system logs, and audit records, depend on an accurate system clock. If there is no confidence in the correctness of the system clock, time-based functions may not operate as intended and records may be of diminished value.
