ESXi 6.7 -WEB UI - wrong time in "time & date", right time in recent tasks

Hello.

My ESXi server date is not working as expected.

NTP client status is enabled, the service is running and even the firewall is open for NTP.

The server I've specified is also working, nevertheless, my time is less one hour that it should be. Curiously, when I run some task using a webrowser, the recent tasks shows the correct time.

Any idea of what might be causing this?

Thanks and regards.

HI,

this is not a problem, the Time zone cannot be changed.

Thanks for the reply.

I don't understand...if I query the NTP server it provides me the correct time, timezone etc, so why wouldn't ESXi get that information?

Regards.

ESXi works in UTC only.

Re: esxi 6.7 timezone config?
