For reasons I don't understand, MS bollocksed the principle standard,
you probably need to try;
kinit user at MY_DOMAIN

Also, the error 'kinit(v5) cannot contact any kdc for requested realm'
generally means one of two things.
1) It can't find the KDC using the info given, which means DNS or
/etc/krb5.conf is misconfigured
2) It can't contact the KDC because the KDC isn't running, or is
firewalled off, or some other network problem.

Hope this helps.
