Re: [OpenAFS] Custom MSI Question

[Hugh Caldwell]

After further testing it appears that the log on dialog box only shows up 
when the machine is first rebooted after the installation. This seems to 
be independent of the setting  of the LogonOptions. I can live with this 
behavior. 

Thanks for the help,

The answers to your questions are documented in the OpenAFS for Windows
Release Notes.  Start Menu->OpenAFS->Documentation->Release Notes
See Chapter 7 "MSI Deployment Guide".  Specifically 7.2 Configuration
Options.
