Hey Everyone,

I'm having an issue where I can unable to change the NTP server to what I want.

The NTP time stuck in system preferences, even after unenroll. I change it via terminal using the sudo systemsetup -setnetworktimeserver time.euro.apple.com but it reverts back.

I'm thinking there is a stuck setting but I can't find the plist or setting.

Does anyone have any ideas?

    1. Do you know if NTP is managed via a profile or config management ( ansible,chef,puppet)

    2. Did you stop the service, make the change then restart the service?

    @Nix4Life

    The NTP is not managed by any service. I didn't try to stop the service and then start it.

    Any pointers on the sudo/terminal command?

    If anyone needs it, it ended up being a setting that was no longer in Jamf so we had to manually remove the profile from the computer.
