The Windows "solution" is, as previously mentioned, to have a local or
Active Directory account for the user. That's where the authorization
information comes from (in an AD domain it is included in the
authorization data field of the ticket). Note that enhancing a KDC to
supply the necessary authorization data is not sufficient to eliminate
the need for an local or Active Directory account. It is, as one might
expect, a significantly more involved problem.

Which keytab? There is no keytab on a Windows 2000 workstation. You
need to do ksetup /SetComputerPassword to set the machine password
in the LSA secret store. You can verify this with lsadump2.
