-NTP Start Issue
+====== NTP Start Issue ======
+<color darkorange>Apr 2021</color>
+\\
+\\
+\\
+This was created and tested using CentOS 7.9
+----
+I recently had an issue where NTP would not start on a server, I have no idea why, it had CentOS installed and configured exactly the same as the other servers in the system, however NTP would not start.
+\\
+\\
+Running <color #ed1c24>ntpstat</color> I would see that the server was <color #ed1c24>unsynchronised</color>.
+\\
+\\
+Using timedatectl I could see the following:
+\\
+<file>
+      Local time: Thu 2021-04-08 14:22:37 UTC
+  Universal time: Thu 2021-04-08 14:22:37 UTC
+        RTC time: Thu 2021-04-08 14:22:37
+       Time zone: UTC (UTC, +0000)
+     NTP enabled: no
+NTP synchronized: no
+ RTC in local TZ: no
+      DST active: n/a
+</file>
+\\
+NTP enabled: <color #ed1c24>no</color>\\
+NTP synchronized: <color #ed1c24>no</color>\\
+\\
+\\
+From the command line, issue the command:
+\\
+\\
+    timedatectl set-ntp yes
+\\
+\\
+Re-run the <color #ed1c24>timedatectl</color> command and you should see:
+\\
+<file>
+      Local time: Thu 2021-04-08 14:23:20 UTC
+  Universal time: Thu 2021-04-08 14:23:20 UTC
+        RTC time: Thu 2021-04-08 14:23:20
+       Time zone: UTC (UTC, +0000)
+     NTP enabled: yes
+NTP synchronized: yes
+ RTC in local TZ: no
+      DST active: n/a
+</file>
+\\
+where:
+\\
+\\
+NTP enabled: <color #22b14c>yes</color>\\
+NTP synchronized: <color #22b14c>yes</color>\\
