An administrator has deployed a new Files cluster within a Windows
Environment.

After some days, he Files environment is not able to synchronize users with the

difference between the Files environment and the Active Directory Server that
is responsible for the behavior.
How should the administrator prevent the Files environment and the AD Server
from having such a time difference in future?

B. Use 0.pool.ntp.org as the NTP Server for the AD Server.
C. Use 0.pool.ntp.org as the NTP Server for the Files environment.
D. Connect to every FSVM and edit the time manually.
Correct Answer: A
The administrator should prevent the Files environment and the AD Server from
having such a time difference in future by using the same NTP Servers for the
File environment and the AD Server. NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a protocol
that synchronizes the clocks of devices on a network with a reliable time
source. NTP Servers are devices that provide accurate time information to
other devices on a network. By using the same NTP Servers for the File
environment and the AD Server, the administrator can ensure that they have
consistent and accurate time settings and avoid any synchronization issues or
errors.Reference:Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 32; Nutanix Files
