Cross-Platform/Realm Authentication Error Assistance

[Grant Cohoe]

Yeah, I would like to keep our DC on 2008R2 for future features. But
our MIT KDC might be holding us back on that. What I find somewhat
peculiar is that in the TGS-REQ from the Windows 7 Client to the AD
DC, it reports multiple encryption types (aes123, aes256, rc4-hmac,
des-cbc-crc, des-cbc-md5, rc4-hmac-exp, rc4-hmac-old-exp). I don't
know if this has any bearing on the issue I am having though.
