QuestionQ20

Section 4 – Troubleshoot Nutanix Unified Storage

An administrator has deployed a new Files cluster in a Windows environment.

After several days, the Files environment can no longer synchronize users with the Active Directory server. The administrator finds a substantial time difference between the Files environment and the Active Directory server, which is causing this behavior.

How should the administrator prevent the Files environment and the AD Server from having this time difference in the future?

  • A Use 0.pool.ntp.org as the NTP Server for the Files environment.
  • B Use 0.pool.ntp.org as the NTP Server for the AD Server.
  • C Connect to every FSVM and edit the time manually.
  • D Use the same NTP Servers for the Files environment and the AD Server.
Explanation

Active Directory authentication and user synchronization require closely synchronized clocks. Configuring the Files environment and the AD Server to use the same NTP servers provides a common authoritative time source and prevents clock skew from disrupting synchronization.
