Hi,
In SLES 11, for sync server with ntp, the command is “rcntp ntptimeset”
What is the command in SLES 12sp2 and SLES 12sp3?
TIA
You should configure NTPd as a NTP Client in “Now and On Boot” start mode. Please read chaptre 24 in “Administration Guide” “SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP3”:

Forget all this manual time sync commands (like ntpdate)!
Be prepared for the change from NTP/NTPd to chrony in SLE15. See:
