NTP broken after ESXi 7u3 upgrade

[actyler1001]

NTP time sync appears to have broken after the 7U3 upgrade.  Anyone else run into this and have suggestions on how I might fix?  I've deleted and re-created the service, checked FW policy, tried different servers...  Nothing helps.

Original Build: VMware ESXi, 7.0.2, 17867351

New Build: VMware ESXi, 7.0.3, 18644231

i didn't say you opinionsat a whole  are nonsense! i said "running ntpd on each and every guest is nonsense and in a 100% virtualized environment nothing else exists" and why it's nonsense to run ntpd on 100 or more guests and torture "pool.ntp.org" day and night should be obvious

you missed the context: 100% virtualized environment
and in a 100% virtualized environment you would need to run dedicated, redundant hardware only to run ntpd

may YOU explain on a TECHNICAL GROUND why your ESXi hosts can't run ntpd and the guests use the host as time source - because, well, it just works and the times where vmware-tools made lage time-jumps are gone for years now!

Hi, maksym007,

But nothing happens.

I hope that the response you receive contains useful information to remedy the problem you have encountered.
In the meantime, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Dear , 

Do you have NTP Server or your using NTP pool ?

[maksym007]

And what is the difference? Does ESXi recognize if it's a server or pool?

I have re-reviewed this thread that seemed to derail for a while, and wondered if the recent posts are a NEW problem with NTP?

Or, if the ongoing posts are relating to my now-buried procedure for original NTP Solution (posted ‎09-05-2022 11:54 AM ET)?

Please elaborate in more detail.

this thread seems to be the one which gets every ntp related issue for the next years because a lot of people are too dumb to stray on topic and distinct issues - hopefully i find how to only disable notfiues for that nonsense here

My Dear , 

You have 3 options : 

1- Integrate NTP from Your ESXI 

2- Integrate from NTP Server (NTP appliances or NTP windows ) 

3- Integrate from NTP Pool (https://www.ntppool.org) 

[maksym007]

Seriously? I didn't know that 

Of course, these options are available. Wil it somehow solve our problem?
