Using NTP on ESX hosts

Different people and different sites maintain their time-issues in different ways. Personally I like to setup a NTP connection towards the internet, most ofte to ntp.uio.no, to keep my core systems synced, and then let clients get their time from the AD. However, with ESX hosts thats not as easy, they cant sync through AD (without more setup), so I just run normal NTP setup on them.

The following article shows the full walkthrough on how to set it up, also by using vmware's own NTP servers.

To make sure it works, just run the watch command and see how it goes a while after its setup.
