NTP server update
I need to update our NTP server. I have added the new NTP server name, but when i go to delete the old one using the Gui I am getting prompted that i will have to reboot in order to sync is this correct, or can i simply use the CLi to do this add remove and "disable" and then "Enable" the NTP via the CLI? I really do not want to reboot.
Thanks;

Perhaps your existing time is too far out and needs to be manually set first.
I have seen this but you shouldn't need to reboot to change, perhaps if it's too far out there is a concern that it will impact integrated products relying on this time sync and the reboot is to account for that.
You may also want to check your system timezone is correct; config show timezone

sysadmin@DD007# ntp status
**** NTP daemon is not running.
sysadmin@DD007# ntp disable
NTP disabled.
sysadmin@DD007# system set date 09051750
** System date will be adjusted by 1752 seconds. This change can
potentially cause issues for applications running on this system.
Are you sure? (yes|no|?) [no]: yes
ok, proceeding.

ntp disable
ntp del (existing)
ntp add (set new one or more than one with a space between)
