That did work. the odd thing also is doing "ntpdate pool.ntp.org" works every time, and so does time.windows.com - but time.apple.com did not. Thanks for the "-u" suggestion.

When you use -d, it implicitly sets -u, which your non-"-d" invocation didn't. That's probably the reason for the difference.

[CentOS] ntpdate odd behavior
I noticed this morning that my ntp time was not correct on machines. So I manually ran "ntpdate time.apple.com" on my clients, I got 7 May 08:46:43 ntpdate[10550]: no server suitable for synchronization found then I ran "ntpdate -d time.apple.com" and it worked . filter offset: -163.446 -163.446 -163.446 -163.447 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 delay 0.20570, dispersion 0.00049 offset -163.447341 7 May 08:46:25 ntpdate[10519]: step time server 17.253.2.243 offset -163.447144 sec then I ran "ntpdate time.apple.com" again and got the above error again. Any idea what that is about? Why is ntpdate giving the error? This is on centos 6.6 x86_64 and same result on 3 machines.
