Topic #: 8
[All NCP-US Questions]

An administrator has deployed a new Files cluster within a Windows Environment.

After some days, he Files environment is not able to synchronize users with the Active Directory server anymore. The administrator observes a large time difference between the Files environment and the Active Directory Server that is responsible for the behavior.

How should the administrator prevent the Files environment and the AD Server from having such a time difference in future?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The administrator should prevent the Files environment and the AD Server from having such a time difference in future by using the same NTP Servers for the File environment and the AD Server. NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a protocol that synchronizes the clocks of devices on a network with a reliable time source. NTP Servers are devices that provide accurate time information to other devices on a network. By using the same NTP Servers for the File environment and the AD Server, the administrator can ensure that they have consistent and accurate time settings and avoid any synchronization issues or errors.Reference:Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 32; Nutanix Files Troubleshooting Guide

Haha, imagine the admin just walking around unplugging and re-plugging every FSVM to reset the time. That would be a hilarious sight!

Hmm, B and C both mention 0.pool.ntp.org, so I wonder if that's a special NTP server or something? Might have to look into that one.

D) Editing the time manually on every FSVM? No way, that's way too much work. A or C are much better options here.
