# TimeServer The payload that configures the time server. ``` object TimeServer ``` ## Discussion Specify `com.apple.MCX` as the payload type. If multiple profiles with this payload are sent, the system sets the device’s time server to the value in the last payload installed. Removing the payload won’t change the settings back to the prior settings. ### Profile availability ||| |--------------------------|-----| |Device channel |macOS| |User channel |N/A | |Allow manual install |macOS| |Requires supervision |N/A | |Requires user-approved MDM|N/A | |Allowed in user enrollment|N/A | |Allow multiple payloads |N/A | ### Profile example ```plist PayloadContent timeServer ntp.example.com timeZone America/Denver PayloadIdentifier com.example.mytimeserverpayload PayloadType com.apple.MCX PayloadUUID 7bc24f5a-5ad8-4ad0-b05e-8f5f4418ff05 PayloadVersion 1 PayloadDisplayName Time Server PayloadIdentifier com.example.myprofile PayloadType Configuration PayloadUUID a18b9fa3-dbdc-4e60-89e0-d785c7c6a1a0 PayloadVersion 1 ``` --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
