Thank you for the detailed information, installing the MSI is what I plan
on eventually.  The problem at the moment is that the MSI approach is
serious pain (mainly for political reasons) so I am looking for a more
incremental approach.

I finally found what I think I am looking for here:

which says:

OK, so I now have an MIT KDC with Kerberos IV support enabled.  I try to obtain
tokens via the usual method (padlock in systray) and sure enough, I can get them.
However, as soon as I try to access a directory in Windows Explorer that requires
valid credentials, I get an access denied popup and notice that my tokens have
been discarded (padlock has red X).

Any idea what is causing this behavior?
