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? &nbsp;</P> Tue, 22 Dec 2020 01:49:24 GMT https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Cloud-Foundation/VCF-Nested-Lab-Cloud-Builder-Time-Synchronization-Validation/m-p/2818769#M571 PCTechStream 2020-12-22T01:49:24Z https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Cloud-Foundation/VCF-Nested-Lab-Cloud-Builder-Time-Synchronization-Validation/m-p/2818542#M569 <P>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&nbsp;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 &amp; Add timeservers under [Time]</P><P>vm-cb = My VMware Cloud Builder Virtual machine.</P><P>AD-DC-1 = ADDC, DNS, DHCP &amp; NTP</P><P>ITSA.CLOUD = My domain name.</P><P><SPAN class="col-md-10 col-lg-10">Time Synchronization Validation</SPAN><SPAN class="stack-content-custom"><SPAN>&nbsp;</SPAN>Warning</SPAN></P><DIV><DIV class="ng-star-inserted">Host 'b'vm-cb'' reject or unable to use NTP server ['AD-DC-1.ITSA.CLOUD'] as source.</DIV><DIV class="ng-star-inserted">Host 'b'vm-cb'' and NTP ['AD-DC-1.ITSA.CLOUD'] sync offset +602743 seconds (Expecting 30.0 seconds)</DIV><DIV class="ng-star-inserted">Host 'b'vm-cb'' and NTP '172.16.31.2' time drift &gt;30.0 seconds</DIV><DIV class="ng-star-inserted">Host '172.16.31.101' reject or unable to use NTP server ['AD-DC-1.ITSA.CLOUD'] as source.</DIV><DIV class="ng-star-inserted">Host '172.16.31.102' reject or unable to use NTP server ['AD-DC-1.ITSA.CLOUD'] as source.</DIV><DIV class="ng-star-inserted">Host '172.16.31.103' reject or unable to use NTP server ['AD-DC-1.ITSA.CLOUD'] as source.</DIV><DIV class="ng-star-inserted">Host '172.16.31.104' reject or unable to use NTP server ['AD-DC-1.ITSA.CLOUD'] as source.</DIV><DIV class="ng-star-inserted">Host '172.16.31.104' and NTP '172.16.31.2' time drift 60271.447964668274 seconds (Expecting 30.0 seconds)</DIV><DIV class="ng-star-inserted">&nbsp;</DIV><DIV class="ng-star-inserted">Hardware: just one physical server with ESXI 7.0 and VCF 4.1</DIV><DIV class="ng-star-inserted">288 GB RAM</DIV><DIV class="ng-star-inserted">4 TB HDD</DIV><DIV class="ng-star-inserted">&nbsp;</DIV><DIV class="ng-star-inserted">Any help would be very appreciated!</DIV></DIV> Mon, 21 Dec 2020 02:30:42 GMT https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Cloud-Foundation/VCF-Nested-Lab-Cloud-Builder-Time-Synchronization-Validation/m-p/2818542#M569 PCTechStream 2020-12-21T02:30:42Z https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Cloud-Foundation/Deploy-vCenter-failed-in-VMware-VCF-Bring-up-process/m-p/2818535#M568 <P>Hey how did you fix the NTP server?
