I'd like to try it, at least use it as read-only replica server for backup purpose.
The question is what are the commands to use? The afs-newcell script on Linux uses more commands than what is available in OpenAFS/Windows. Do you mind to share a simple list of commands or steps that I could try? Just give me the commands/quick steps and I can always look up the manual.
