I'll be happy to provide more details if you can be more specific about what is needed or if we just need to file a bug report.
On a Windows 2003 server I know that 1.5.59 is working and 1.5.74 is not. I don't know exactly when it stopped working as I found out about this as I have some powershell scripts that stopped working when upgrading from .59 to .74. It's thus quite annoying as I have to run these scripts on a server we still have not upgraded. As far as I know the problem is present om Windws Server 2003, Windows XP and Windows 7. Both with the command and from the explorer GUI. It works if afs is mounted as a letter within windows but not with unc paths. I got one powershell script working then using the set-location command to change she execution location to the unc path. Somehow that didn't solve the problem in another script. /anders hannus -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Anders Magnusson Sent: den 18 juni 2010 13:13 To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [OpenAFS] Windows client: "Mount points must be created within the AFS file system".
