Hi,I’ve got a question about where a VM on AHV get’s it’s time at boot-up from.Background: I was reviewing the event logs on a couple of windows servers, and looking at the bootup process. Event times, start at UTC and then a bit through the boot-up it jumps an hour to GMT (Presumably when windows time starts, and syncs with the domain) I’d prefer this not to happen, and would like the BIOS/Boot time to be GMT if possible. Does the VM “BIOS”boot time come from the CVM which I’ve found the process to change the timezone for, or the Host which the recommended configuration is to leave at UTC?Thanks in advance G

Hi I’m testing the Nutanix API v3 on a AOS 7.5 cluster through the prism central API. I came across the `https://ip_address:9440/api/nutanix/v3/users` endpoint that allows us to create a new user. However, I can’t see to find a way to create a user that’s not tied to any identity provider (local user). Is there even such a thing? Or is it not supported through the API? Because I can’t see an attribute for that in the payload from the official documentation. I couldn’t find an endpoint for this functionality on other API versions, that’s why I’m using v3. Any help is much appreciated.
