Christine,

None of the cell management GUI tools work on Windows.  Just don't
install them or expect them to work.  The "Server Manager" literally a
tool for managing the cell not the client.

The OpenAFS 1.6 clients on Windows use the SMB gateway interface that
doesn't work on Windows 7 or above.

FYI, as of July 29th all new installations of Windows will require
Secure Boot.  At that time Microsoft signed device drivers will become
mandatory.  AuriStor, Inc. hopes to have its Windows client approved for
Microsoft's signatures by that date.
