Enabling NTP in PCoIP protocol devices such as PCoIP Zero Clients allow the event logs to be time stamped based on NTP time.
Note: This is an important step in VDI troubleshooting to allow correlation of User events with the relevant PCoIP Zero client logs.
NTP can be enabled via the PCoIP Zero Client Web Interface and via the PCoIP Management Console
