Which version of Windows are you using? It's quite straightforward, just 
make sure that your host principal only has Arcfour/HMAC as the 
encryption key if you're using a Windows 2003 machine. (2008 and up 
support AES.)

See this article: 
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/2751.kerberos-interoperability-step-by-step-guide-for-windows-server-2003-en-us.aspx 
and search for "Using an MIT KDC with a Stand-alone Windows Server 2003 
Client"

The steps on the client side are basically the same for Windows 2008.
