Hi Neo,
  Thanks for the reply,
  When I am trying to do a kinit on the client, I am getting this error. However, I have no idea of the log files on the KDC (which I assume should be on the AD server). 
  I found out that this error was eliminated when i tried to rename the client machine. e.g. I had the name of the client as test1.mydomain.com and now i changed it to test2.mydomain.com.
  Can you please help in exactly pinpointing why this could have happened?
   
  Thanks for all the help,
  Regards,
  Sayali

What command are you running when you get that message? Are you trying 
to extract the server principal onto a keytab? Can you show your KDC log 
file?
