title: Configure macOS to Use an Authorized Time Server
discussion: |
Approved time server _MUST_ be the only server configured for use. As of macOS 10.13 only one time server is supported.
This rule ensures the uniformity of time stamps for information systems with multiple system clocks and systems connected over a network.

result:
string: $ODV
fix: |
This is implemented by a Configuration Profile.
