3.11.1. OpenAFS Server Installation

When the OpenAFS Server is installed, the TransarcAFSServer service (bosctlsvc.exe) will be installed and configured. The TransarcAFSServer service will auto-start the traditional AFS bos server. The former AFS Server Configuration wizard makes assumptions that no longer hold true and it has therefore been disabled. However, following the instructions for installing the AFS Servers on UNIX it is possible to properly configure the AFS Servers on Microsoft Windows. The AFS Server binaries, configuration files, and log files are installed under %Program Files%\OpenAFS\Server. kaserver has been deprecated and its use is strongly discouraged. Instead, Active Directory or some other Kerberos v5 KDC should be used in its place.
