VMware ESX Server shows incorrect time

If your virtual servers inside your ESX or ESXi keep changing the time to a wrong time , this can be caused by the time that the ESX server has.  The ESX server obtains the time from the bios of the machine but if for any reason the Bios battery is bad or the physical server has a power outage the ESX will get the wrong time and all the virtual machines will get the wrong time. So in order to fix this issue you will need to add 2 NTP servers and the server will always give you the correct time. Make sure you select 2 servers minimum that are in your time zone. Follow the below instructions to add NTP server to ESX.
