Hi all! I got a VCF - POC request but I'm testing it in a nested lab. My issue is that when Cloud Builder will validate data provided in the configuration file "Bringup" failed with warning at the Time Synchronization Validation step. I got Windows server 2019 as NTP Server and also I went through all the VMware KB to make a Windows NTP server work with ESXI hosts and CB. I noted that when I "RETRY" some hosts accepted the windows NTP server but others don't, if I "RETRY" again all host rejected including the cloud builder appliance which never accepted Windows NTP server as NTP source. I already manually configure NTP servers on the cloud builder appliance by vi /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf & Add timeservers under [Time]
vm-cb = My VMware Cloud Builder Virtual machine.
AD-DC-1 = ADDC, DNS, DHCP & NTP
ITSA.CLOUD = My domain name.
Time Synchronization Validation Warning
Due to a nested environment it is common you get NTP issues. Ignore the warning and proceed with the bringup.

Ok! Thanks for replying. Just one more question since I'm new to the VCF - CB bringup process. So, the bringup will continue and complete even if I got Warnings?
There is no guarantee that the bring up will complete. Even if you have green checks in the pre-check it can still fail during bring up.
I had the same NTP warning message in my nested lab, but i was able to complete the bring up successfully.
Great answer! I will keep you post on the bring-up process.
