Why is NTP not installed by default on VM images?

Looking at some of my Ubuntu 14.04 images, the time is out of sync by over a minute (using time.nist.gov or us.pool.ntp.org). This is sorta... idiotic. Is there a specific reason the VM images on Azure don't have ntp turned on by default? And why is the
underlying hypervisor platform not providing properly sync'd time anyways?

Hi,
Azure VMs and services take their time directly from the underlying Hyper-V platform upon boot and from that point forward the clock is maintained by the service. If you want to have true time sync across a distributed system you can
do this at the application layer and/or with a service referencing a singular time server.
If you hope NTP services to be enabled by default on Azure Linux VMs, please submit your feedback in Azure feedback below:

    why can I not install Acrobat Reader in a different drive / directory. I need to install this in a different drive. I prefer to keep the Os drive free of rubbish. Is there an option in an install to allow this to happen?

    Your license allows for enabled installations on two machines.  If you are unable to install on a second machine you will need to provide more information if you want help resolving the problem.  At what stage does the failure to install occur?  What messages do you encounter when it fails?  What are your system specifications?  How do your system specs compare to the Software system requirements?

  • Why I can not install the iTunes to my new 64bit laptop??? I have never had this kind of problem before on my 32 bit old laptop...

    I would like to get a help... I can not install the iTunes to my new (64bit) laptop... Why??? The installation stops somewhere after a few minute, looks like trying to install but can not go through until the end. I had my old (32bit) laptop and i have never had any problem with the installations... My new laptop is Asus (64bit), and the operating system just upgraded from Win8 to Win8.1....

    Hello rafaelfromweymouth
    Start with the first article and clear out any files in the Temp folder. You may need to remove iTunes and its related software and finally make sure that you have the 64-bit version of iTunes downloaded to install.

  • I installed acrobat 8 standard, the printer did not install, we cannot select files to convert to PDF. Why did printer not install

    I installed my acrobat version 8 standard and activated however the printer did not install.  The download was successful but we have no printer icon to select to convert files to PDF.  Can you help with why the printer did not install.  we have windows 7 op system

    Sorry ! - you seems a little un-clear about what you are really doing and what your problem really is.
    Your headline says Acrobat.com your text Adobe.com , you tell you clicked on the file for a pdf page but not where it is that you are clicking , then tells you are stuck and that you are waiting for Acrobat 8..........
    First of all : if your question concerns Acrobat.com then you were posting in the wrong forum !   The Acrobat.com forum is located here http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobatdotcom
    Secondly if your question were regarding printing files from Acrobat.com then here are some links that you could find of assistance :

  • Why can I not install adobe flash, I get a message saying it will not install while firefox is runing

    When I try to download adobe flash player everything goes fine and the download finishes. When asked to install I get a message that says it will not install while an application is running. Which is Mozilla Firefox

    Adobe Shockwave Flash needs to install plugins for Firefox, and Flash needs to do that with Firefox closed. So close Firefox and run the Flash installer.

  • Why can i NOT INSTALL latest version of itunes

    I cannot update itunes, it just will not install, my iupdad is freezing --- APPLE WHAT ARE YOU DOING, WE BUY THESE ITEMS AND YOU THEN BLOCK US EVERY WAY WE TRY, I AM SO SICK OF BEING USED

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Why will Rosetta not install?

    I'm wondering why Rosetta isn't installing. I opened this CD and it requires rosetta to work...don't ask why.
    Anyway, whenever I'm in the process of downloading it, randomly it spits out "software is unavailable"....I'm beautifully, and wirelessly connected to the internet yet this annoying occurence is still in my way. Anybody have any ideas? It's a pain.

  • Why is Acrobat not installing with deployment package?

    I have created windows 64 bit packages with AAMEE from the CS6 Design and web premium suite. From the full suite to Photoshop. Acrobat, to Acrobat stand alone. Each time Acrobat does not install. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi,
    When Acrobat is present in your AAMEE created packages, you first need to run the Exception deployer tool in pre mode, then deploy the main package and then run the Exception deployer tool again in post mode to deploy the remaining exceptions. Please read the documentation of exception deployer present in AAMEE deployment guide posted at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html
    If you are using AAMEE 3.1, the Exeption deployer application is present inside the exceptions folder of your AAMEE created packages.
    Let us know if you face any issues.
