Nutanix Certified Professional – Unified Storage v6.5 (NCP-US) — Question 20

An administrator has deployed a new Files cluster within a Windows environment.
After some days, the Files environment is not able to synchronize users with the Active Directory server anymore. The administrator observes a large time 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?

Answer options

• 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.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because using the same NTP servers for both environments ensures that they are synchronized to the same time source, preventing future discrepancies. Options A and B only address one environment at a time, which would not resolve the issue effectively. Option C is not a sustainable solution, as it requires manual adjustments that can lead to future errors.
