I started getting this several months ago:  "Error 11862791  AFS service

To try to cure the problem, I just installed 1.5.1800,"typical"
configuration, and it's happening in this version too, but it just
started in the previous installation after a couple of years of working
without problems.

The current release is 1.5.27.

The one I installed was the one the installation's admins' page had the pointer to. I should add that there is next to no user support here, so I'm doing what I can by searching the Internet.


I downloaded and installed 1.5.27 and got the same error.


I know next to nothing about registries, but looking at this page: http://www.nabble.com/Error-Number-11862791-t2225811.html, it seems that

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0]
   "BackConnectionHostNames"
should equal "multi-sz"?
If so, and if the TYPE in my machine's registery key equals REG_MULTI_SZ
but the DATA equals AFS, could this be the problem?  Should I change the
DATA to equal MULTI_SZ?

If you have any doubts about this key's contents, delete the key and let
OpenAFS recreate it.


I did, and the OpenAFS installation did not recreate it.

What the error indicates is that the clients cannot talk to the server
over NetBIOS.  There was a bug fixed in 1.5.26 that could have produced
random results when trying to generate the Netbios name to be used.  It
should be "AFS" in all cases if you have the MS Loopback Adapter
installed.


ipconfig /all indicates that AFS is bound to the loopback adapter. The only anomalous setting is that DHCP enabled = "NO".

There is extensive debugging information in the Release Notes.  Please
read them if you have not already done so.



I did not see anything that addresses this persistent error, either in the release notes or in the documentation in general, on

http://www.openafs.org/doc
