Comment 12 for bug 1728379

Hi Deepak,

You tried editing ntp.conf of target systems or SM ?

In case sm/smlite, by default SM is configured as NTP server. Also in case of SM, DHCP also provides NTP server options, and by default SM is configured there. So you may need to change /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template

For current setup, NTP servers were not responding back to SM. I edited /etc/ntp.conf on Server-Manager to add Juniper NTP server. And restarted ntp service on SM. After 10-15 mins, all nodes sync time with NTP server (SM in this case), time was synced after wards.

I added following line to /etc/ntp.conf.

server 172.21.200.60 iburst

For changing the NTP server via DHCP (SM only) , following entry could be changed to needed values inside every subnet /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template
    option ntp-servers $next_server;
