I am able to use kerberos authentication with Windows 20003 SP1 Active Directory. I couldn't get Postgres 7.414 to work, but as soon as I upgraded to 8.15, added my username to postgres (also set in Active Directory), used POSTGRES as the service principal, I could login using psql successfully.
Thanks for all who helped.

Hi!
Wherever your pg_ctl command sets the logfiles, or syslog if you use
syslog etc.
(Note that you still need to define the user in PostgreSQL as well, but
that shoudl give a different error message)
