Um, in the user account in AD, you can set an option to not require pre-auth.  I would reccommend that you do so.  If you do not, then the AS_REP will be so big that the Microsoft KDC will send it using TCP/IP instead of UDP/IP.  Most clients will not expect this.

There is an option you can set in the AS_REQ to not have the AS_REP be so big, but that would require you to modify the code that generates the AS_REQ, which is not a trivial task.

Well, the protocol is no based on ADSI -- that is an API -- rather it is
a DCE RPC-based protocol.

Not that I am aware of.
