Well, if you want to modify the WPKG registry settings yourself, then I'm
afraid it's pretty complicated, and it can't be explained that fast and
easily. If you know C and Windows API, consult the sources.
Of course, paid support options for such time consuming cases are also
available :)

Then use this system policy to set your clock intact. Or, whatever other
change, because it's not WPKG fault that it can't connect to a share.

Use psexec (from a Windows machine) or winexe (from Linux) to launch this
command remotely then.

Anyway - there is something broken with your setup (Kerberos tickets?).
Two machines need to connect to each other to know if the time on them is
the same or different.
And you say that the machines are not connecting at all - so how do they
know the time difference? Telepathy?
Perhaps you're looking in the wrong place, and wrongly assume it's
something with clock?
