I think you meant 883268. It looks like the instructions are wrong. I'll
contact the author.

On my Windows Server 2003 KDC the service name is KDC. I get the same error
as you do with KDCSVC.

Use "SC query" to get a list of services.
Use "SC query KDC" to find out the status of the KDC service (You need to
run on the DC). The state should be running. If your KDC was down then you
would have logon issues which agrees with the error. Sounds like your secure
channel to the DC is down.

This is a good resource for many Kerberos errors.
