Hi everyone,
Troubleshooting an active directory VCSA integration I realize that the last one is 3 hours ahead because is set to UTC, but I'm unable to change the timezone to America/Santiago, although I click the edit button and select it, when saving timezone field keeps blank (no error displayed).
NTP synchronization seems to be working correctly
All 5 hosts administered by this VCSA are synchronize to the same NTP servers and get the correct time.
Running VCSA with embedded PSC version 6.5.0.10000 Build Number 5973321.
Please need advice on what to do to correct VCSA time cause I'm pretty sure this is the problem for syncing AD users (and a potential for a lot of other ones).
Thanks in advance.
Check out the release notes and search for Time Zone.
VMware vCenter Server 6.5 Update 1 Release Notes
Time Zone in the vCenter Server Appliance Management Interface (VAMI) is empty after you upgrade vCenter Server 6.0.x to vCenter Server 6.5.x
Time Zone in the VAMI is empty when you perform a minor upgrade in vCenter Server 6.0.x and major upgrade to vCenter Server 6.5.x.
Workaround:
cd /etc/
rm -rf localtime
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/UTC /etc/localtime
After that check, the soft link should display the following information:
# ls -l /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jun 21 17:12 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC

I failed to notice this issue detailed on release notes. Now I was able to apply correct TimeZone.
Thanks very much theaaronstrong !
Thanks for bringing this to light.
I have had a case open with support for nearly a month, and they could not tell me what the issue was!
How do we action this in an HA setup?
Do we have to apply the change to all three nodes?
Cheers

Hi Everyone.
I can confirm this fix works as well.
Hello, I have the same detail with vcenter 6.5 but I have it installed in windows 2008 R2, as I can change there the option of UTC since I have 5 hours in my virtual machines
