Secure Transfer of Keytab file from Windows DC to embedded device

[Markus Moeller]

Sandy,

there are tools available for this like ads net join which is part of samba, 
or use Dan Perry's tool at
http://www.pppl.gov/~dperry/msktutil/ . I have also an updated ktpass tool 
for Unix on sourceforge
based on MS open source.
