Just to make sure we are using the same vernacular... you are looking at /var/logs or the Journal?

    I am able to manually start ntpd using the command "systemctl
    start ntpd.service". I thought I had indicated that in my original
    post. When I run the enable command, it does create a sym link.
    Below is what it does...

    ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/ntpd.service'
    '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ntpd.service'

    For some reason or another it is not starting though on boot.

    I looked at my log file and it is not showing any failure from
    what I can see. I know that systemd is not starting ntpd
    automatically. I am using the package that came with the
    distribution and am getting a bit frustrated that such a simple
    thing is not working.

    Try starting your ntp manually:

         systemstl start ntpd

You may see an error message referring you to the journal. Startup scripts in SystemD are not difficult, but are very
    different and can be a bit intimidating until you realize they
    are no different that what you always used but in a different order.

    If it starts ok but not on boot, your enable command is not
    working right.  The enable command should create a symlink very
    similar to the old rc3.d=> init.d link of old, only the locations
    are different. Then on startup, the system should run that script
    doing an equivalent of systemctl start on it.

    So, try to start it manually and see what happens.

        I am playing with CentOS 7 and have been encountering some
        difficulties. I was wondering if anyone else has attempted to
        use it or is having problems?

        I was able to have the client machine join my Samba 4 windows
        domain and am able to authenticate to it. Yea!

        I cannot get ntp to start at statup. I am always having to
        manually start it. I have run "systemctl enable ntpd.service"
        which I understand is the correct command for systemd to have
        an application start on boot (it was "chkconfig ntpd on"
        utilizing previous versions).
        There is the problem of applications... I cannot find a rdp
        client on the distro or epel. I found rdesktop on a
        repository that I have never used before and don't know if I
        trust.

        I am thinking about trying Linux Mint
        (http://www.linuxmint.com/) or kubuntu
        (http://www.kubuntu.org/). I am trying to see if I can
        operate at my office without Windows. I am very comfortable
        with CentOS versions prior to 7 am trying to stay with CentOS
        because all of my servers are based on one version of CentOS
        or another. I did not like CentOS 6 as a desktop and that is
        why I was trying 7. Debian based distros have always been
        intimidating since I am used to the package management,
        service calls, and locations of files in CentOS.
