"kinit -k" (with no arguments) defaults to attempting to obtain a TGT for 
(e.g.) host/mymachine.example....@example.org, which only works if you set 
userPrincipalName to host/mymachine.example....@example.org
when you joined the host to Active Directory.

Running "kinit -k MYMACHINE\$" (that is, using the value of the sAMAccountName 
attribute as the argument to "kinit -k") should always work.

This has nothing to do with sssd; it's all about setting userPrincipalName 
correctly when you join the host to AD if you want "kinit -k" (with no 
arguments) to work.
