The AFS Servers are not supported on Windows even though they are still included in the packaging. You should only install the 64-bit client functionality and the 32-bit WOW MSI for a Windows Server 2012 R2 system. In addition you need some form of Kerberos as described at http://www.openafs.org/pages/windows.html#kfw > After doing those steps I don’t see the AFS Client Configuration in the > control panel.

There is no AFS Client Configuration tool on Windows 8 / Server 2012 or above. The control panel utility that was shipped for Windows 7 and earlier is not compatible with Windows 8 and the AFS Redirector configuration. The AFS Server Configuration tool is intended only for sites that are installing the AFS Servers (Volume Location, Protection, File) on a Windows system. These tools are not maintained and are known not to work. > Any pointers? I’m running Windows Server 2012 R2 if that makes a difference. The release notes for 1.7.31 are available at http://docs.openafs.org/ReleaseNotesWindows/index.html The WindowsEndUserQuickStartGuide in the wiki has not been updated in many many years.
