I believe we successfully used 1.7.31 on 2012R2... though we're now
running 1.7.33(01?).

Can you provide reference to the above? I've heard inklings of te signed
device drivers but nada about requirements of Secure Boot.

Re: [OpenAFS] Client install on Windows Server 2012R2

[Garrison, Christine]

Thanks, Jeff.

As usual, I am asking my questions clumsily.

What should my user install in order to use OpenAFS client on his Windows 
Server 2012R2 machine? We have somewhat dated instructions for configuring to 
our cell in IU's KB, and I'm trying to clarify for him to be able to get set up 
and working. 

I don't want to make him use our rickety Samba gateway for this purpose in 
particular; efficiency and untranslated access to the fileservers is important.

Thanks again for your help.

Christine,

None of the cell management GUI tools work on Windows.  Just don't
install them or expect them to work.  The "Server Manager" literally a
tool for managing the cell not the client.

The OpenAFS 1.6 clients on Windows use the SMB gateway interface that
doesn't work on Windows 7 or above.

FYI, as of July 29th all new installations of Windows will require
Secure Boot.  At that time Microsoft signed device drivers will become
mandatory.  AuriStor, Inc. hopes to have its Windows client approved for
Microsoft's signatures by that date.

[OpenAFS] Client install on Windows Server 2012R2

[Garrison, Christine]

Hello OpenAFS folks,


I've got a user with a Win 2012R2 Server that's trying to install and configure 
the OpenAFS for Windows client. Their OS is 64 bit.


We tried an install of OpenAFS for Windows 1.7.31 from the openafs.org website, 
but got a missing DLL error (sorry, he closed the shared screen too fast for me 
to jot it down) when trying to run the server manager to do a config of the 
cell.


We're more familiar with the 1.6.x client here; can it be run on Win Server 
2012R2?


Thank you,


Christine
