Ubuntu : Change NTP Server

At times it is recommended to change the NTP server for a more accurate Time Sync. This is to ensure all servers have the same Date, Time and Zone.

$ sudo nano /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf

Add or modify the following line and save the file :-

NTP=time.google.com

Next, restart the time service :-

$ sudo systemctl restart systemd-timesyncd

If required, you can check whether the time server can be contacted :-

$ sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep systemd-timesyncd

Verify the NTP connections :-

$ sudo timedatectl show-timesync | grep ServerName

!!! HAPPY COMPUTING !!!
