time between domain controller and any server in network should be identical 

different in time between network servers could cause error in responding to client users

ALL SLES servers should have time settings from domain controller to make sure ALL services working properly 

SLES NTP

The NTP (network time protocol) mechanism is a protocol for synchronizing the system time over the network.

 a machine can obtain the time from a server that is a reliable time source [ Mainly domain controller DC101.pioneers.lab 

 a SLES can itself act as a time source for other computers in the network > which will be discussed later 

 

Configure SLES as NTP client with Yast

  • Click Other Settings to set date and time.
  • Select Synchronize with NTP Server.
  • Enter the address of an NTP server, if not already populated.
  • Click Synchronize Now to get your system time set correctly.
  • To use NTP permanently, enable Save NTP Configuration.
  • With the Configure button, you can open the advanced NTP configuration.
  • Confirm your changes.
open Yast > network Settings > NTP configuration
select NTP now and boot to start daemon when SLES restart > then add
insert DC101.pioneers.lab or IP 172.16.100.101
OK

Configuring SLES as NTP Client with Next Mode

The easiest way to use a time server in the network is to set server parameters.

In our case    time server called DC101.pioneers.lab  is reachable from the network,

 add its name to the file /etc/ntp.conf by adding the following line:

server  DC101.pioneers.lab
or server 172.16.100.101

 

After initializing ntpd with the command

 systemctl start ntpd
open file /etc/ntp.conf > add server DC101 or IP 172.16.100.101
let ntpd service to start when SLES restart
