How to check NTP Setting on Vcenter

I want to check NTP Setting on Vcenter is set to "running" I am using the following cmdlet but it is returning back the IP addresses of the NTP servers.

Get-VMHostNtpServer -VMHost abc.com

How to check status is set to "running" or not?

Solution

  • The Get-VMHostService cmdlet returns HostService instances, which contain a Running property.

    This example from older Get-VMHostService documentation shows a list of services (including ntpd) returned with the Running property:

    C:\PS>Get-VMHostService -Refresh

Key Label Policy Running Required
--- ----- ------ ------- --------
ntpd NTP Daemon automatic False False
sshd SSH Server automatic True False
vmware-vpxa VMware VirtualCenter Agent automatic True False
