HP CIFS Server and Kerberos

11
Note: For new Windows 2000 or 2003 domains, the Administrator password must be changed after
the initial domain controller installation because the default password encryption is not compatible
with Kerberos. If the password has not been changed after the initial domain installation, the HP CIFS
Server configuration cannot be added to the domain. The kinit will fail with the message:
KDC has no support for encryption type while getting initial credentials
The next step is to join the server to the domain. This is also done from the command line with a
“net ads join –U administrator”. This step also requires authentication and authorization from the
KDC. See below
