Hi all,

AFAIK the loopback adapter needs to be reinstalled after the cloning procedure. I think there is a way to have unattended (re) installation of it.

Regards,
Christos

Hmm.  It's installed, but the client isn't finding it.  In fact, the
popdown list of adapters in "bindings" is empty.

If you get \\hostname-afs its because afsd_service.exe couldn't find the loopback adapter. Re-installing OAFW is going to install the loopback
adapter if it is not installed.

This is on a freshly imaged machine that had the client installed in the image; "sysprep" was apparently run on the original before running ghost.

system is XP, client is 1.5.20.  IBM thinkpad T30.

instead of \\afs i get \\uglyhostname-afs

loopback adapter's IP address is in \windows\system\drivers\etc \hosts with
"AFS" as name.

changing the system hostname changes the unc server name to
\\newhostname-afs

Uninstalling & reinstalling 1.5.20 fixed the problem. I intend to upgrade to 1.5.21, but wanted to try the same version. I'm willing to believe I missed something but I don't see anything that looks relevant in the
1.5.20 changelog.

didn't see this in the docs or mailing list anywhere; did see some
mention of the hosts file entry on the list.

The Release Notes mention the need to not clone your AFSCache file (which i'm not sure is happening correctly as part of the clone process; is this related?). I got another freshly cloned machine and stopped afs service, deleted the afscache file, and started afs service; this didn't change
this behavior.

Suggestions?

aside: are there any other gotchas w/r/t system imaging?

tnx
