    Kerberos is enabled by default when you join an Active Directory domain.

    To test it, you can do the following steps.

    From the client computer

    1. Open command prompt
    2. type: klist purge
    3. Access to your remote server using Windows Explorer (\servername\share)
    4. In the command prompt, type the following command: klist
    5. You should see the Kerberos tickets that has been cached
    6. One of the should have something like that: Server: cifs/Servername @ yourdomain.com
