Azure Site Recovery Appliance(Physical Scenario - Modernized) time isnt synchronized

Question

I want to try the Azure site recovery scenario with a physical server but I only have 1 physical server so I created hyper-v then created 2 vm, 1 as a vm appliance and 1 more as a dummy vm that will be replicated, but when installing the appliance there is an error that the time is not synchronized, even though I have made sure that the time and date are correct

I have also tried in vmware but still get the same error regarding the time not being synchronized

Hi Andhika Saputra

To resolve the time synchronization issue you're experiencing with the Azure Site Recovery Appliance in a physical scenario, verify that the system date and time for the appliance server is synchronized correctly. The error may occur if the server clock is out of synchronization with the current time by more than five minutes.

Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and fix the issue:

1. Check the date and time settings on your appliance server to ensure they are correct.
2. Open an admin command prompt on the server.
3. To check the time zone, run the command: w32tm /tz.
4. To synchronize the time, run the command: w32tm /resync.

If you are using VMware, similar time synchronization checks should be performed to ensure that the time is consistent across your virtual machines.

Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.
