Best Practices for Thin Client Time Synchronization – Seeking Experiences

Hello Everyone,

I’m reviewing best practices for Thin Client time synchronization in a DeltaV environment and noticed discrepancies between two versions of KBA NK-1500-0365:

  • October 2024 Release: Recommends configuring thin clients to sync with their DeltaV workstation VM (acting as NTP servers),
  • September 2021 Release: Suggests pointing thin clients to the cluster domain controller or another time server on the thin client network

Has anyone implemented either approach (VM-based or domain controller-based)?

I’d appreciate insights from the community—thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!
