Issue with time configuration on esxi host

Hi to everyone.
I have a cluster with 6 hosts and all have in Time configuration the same server set, but after 14 days i started the ntp service, I notice time difference between the hosts even 20 minutes difference.
I cheked all the settings but all seems correct.
thanks in advance!

Hi @Stfkcor ,

This is commonly caused by communication issues between ESXi host and NTP server. If you have a another NTP  server, I would suggest pointing to that and check if issue persists.

To perform some basic troubleshooting from ESXi, please refer --> Troubleshooting NTP on ESX and ESXi 

If using a domain controller as NTP, ensure it NTP mode is configured on it --> https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1035833 

Hope that helps
