cells are dynamically added when you access them. If you left the workstation cell as "openafs.org", the default, then that is all that will be pre-configured for you. > When I do the exact same setup on XP, everything works. which means that on XP you set the workstation cell to "mprc.mayo.edu". > Any ideas? > > > * First install kfw-3-2-2.exe > * Use (below) when asked for config files. > * Then install OpenAFSforWindows-1-5-27.exe > * Only the client is necessary. > * For the CellServDB use (see below) > * Use cell name mprc.mayo.edu this is the step you left out on Vista. > * Disable "AFS crypt security" (it's slow) > * Disable "Use DNS to Search for Cell Servers" > * Enable "Use Integrated Logon". > * You can accept the defaults for the rest of the options. In any case, if you simply access your cell by name \\afs\mprc.mayo.edu it will be added and if you want to pre-configure cells for your clients you can do so either with MSI transforms applied to the MSI installer or via Active Directory Group Policy.
