[SOLVED] Pyvmomi configure ESXi 'NTP Client Enabled' check box

Pyvmomi configure ESXi 'NTP Client Enabled' check box

Using the below code its possible to update the start up policy of ntpd service in an ESXi server,

con = connect.SmartConnect(host=host, user=user, pwd=pwd)
content = con.RetrieveContent()
cv = content.viewManager.CreateContainerView(
        container=content.rootFolder, type=[vim.HostSystem], recursive=True)

for child in cv.view:
    child.configManager.serviceSystem.UpdatePolicy(id='ntpd', policy='on')

There is no clue in the service

(vim.host.Service) {
dynamicType = <unset>,
dynamicProperty = (vmodl.DynamicProperty) [],
key = 'ntpd',
label = 'NTP Daemon',
required = false,
uninstallable = false,
running = false,
ruleset = (str) [
  'ntpClient'
],
policy = 'off',
sourcePackage = (vim.host.Service.SourcePackage) {
  dynamicType = <unset>,
  dynamicProperty = (vmodl.DynamicProperty) [],
  sourcePackageName = 'esx-base',
  description = 'This VIB contains all of the base functionality of 
  vSphere ESXi.'
  }
}

But how to mark the NTP Client Enabled check box for ESXi using Pyvmomi?
