Hi,
I just finished spinning up RHEL 7.2 server on MS Azure. I'm planning to setup Puppet Master on this one and hence configured it with Australian NTP pool zone from
http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/au. The servers are all based out of Australia East (Melbourne), however, I realized the server returns in UTC timezone. Below is the timedatectl status output:
[root@icarepuppetALL1 etc]# timedatectl status
Local time: Wed 2016-04-13 01:56:55 UTC
Universal time: Wed 2016-04-13 01:56:55 UTC
RTC time: Wed 2016-04-13 02:03:07
Time zone: Etc/UTC (UTC, +0000)
NTP enabled: yes
NTP synchronized: yes
RTC in local TZ: no
DST active: n/a
NTPQ returns the following:
[root@icarepuppetALL1 etc]# ntpq -p
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter

Any suggestions on how I can turn off UTC and enable Australian timezone would be of great help. Thanks.
