Can I automatically cache AD tickets into a file on windows?

[Mauro Cazzari]

Kerberos experts,
Is there a way to automatically cache AD-generated tickets to the file provided through the KRB5CCNAME environment variable on Windows without having to run a kinit? My understanding is that Windows caches tickets in memory (whereas Unix does the same on file). Do I need to install MIT Kerberos, or (ideally) can I just use the copy of Kerberos that comes with Windows to achieve my goal?
Thanks!
Mauro.
