Explanation
On Hyper-V clusters, the CVMs and Prism Central VM do not have the same time-synchronization integration with the hypervisor that exists on AHV. Therefore, an external NTP server must be configured by its IP address directly in Prism Central's NTP settings to ensure accurate timekeeping. Adding a DNS server IP (B) configures name resolution, not time synchronization. Using a DNS hostname (C) may fail if DNS is not yet fully functional or resolvable at configuration time-IP is more reliable. Adding the Domain Controller IP (D) is a Windows-centric assumption; Prism Central NTP configuration requires pointing to an NTP-capable server explicitly, and the DC is not guaranteed to serve NTP in all environments.
