I would like to know if there is any way to change the poll interval of the ESXi. Currently the ESXi is the client that query the NTP server for the time.
What is the version of ESXi are you using?
I am using 7.03d version. Is there any ways to also configure the stepout threshold?
Please be informed about that topic:
