In some cases, Virtual LoadMasters on Hyper-V using Network Time Protocol (NTP) can experience significant time drift. The load that the host server is under may be a significant factor in the magnitude of the time drift. This can lead to split brain scenarios and unnecessary High Availability (HA) fail-overs. If the Virtual LoadMaster is using NTP, consider disabling the Time synchronization option under the Integration Services section of the Management settings in the Hyper-V Manager.
