Windows uses NetBIOS name$ as the machine name in TGT requests for the
host.

At this point we don't have means to correct this via IPA CLI. You need
to use ldapmodify directly and add 

    krbprincipalname: windows$DOMAIN.COM
    krbcanonicalname: HOST/windows.lan.domain.com at DOMAIN.COM

to the host entry.

KrbPrincipalName can have multiple values and if there are more than
one, KrbCanonicalName should be set to the canonical version which is
the original KrbPrincipalName in IPA.
