Error: could not find any credentials to authenticate with. Neither keytab,
     default machine password, nor calling user's tickets worked. Try
     "kinit"ing yourself some tickets with permission to create computer
     objects, or pre-creating the computer object in AD and selecting
     'reset account'.

Removing the exec from the cron.d file should fix this.
