Hello Sebastian,

Thank you for your answer.

> normally you don't need to configure a timezone or time changes on the ESX, because the time is UNIX time.

I don't understand your reasoning...

I also have "pure" Unix machines running Debian OS in my network.

And when I issue the "date" command, I get the correct date and time...

What you say here is correct, I just checked it by connecting to the VMware ESXi host via "vSphere Client".
(I went to "Configuration -> Software -> Time configuration").

So, should I leave things as they are?

Because, on the VMware ESXi host, when I run the "date" command, I get the correct time minus one hour.

And I can't help thinking this ESXi host doesn't have the same time as the other devices in the network...

Thanks and best regards.
