I'd try;
- w32tm /unregister
- net stop w32time
- w32tm /register
- net start w32time
- w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:<redhat ip address> /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update
- net stop w32time
- net start w32time
- then check
- w32tm /query /source
- w32tm /query /configuration
- w32tm /stripchart /computer:<redhat ip address> /dataonly /samples:5
