The OpenAFS Server for Windows is not stable at all.
Jeffrey Altman pointed frequently out on this list, that it's just a
bonus.
It's actually not really maintained.
In some builds the server is working...

You can use it as an experiment, but please don't do it for
production servers.
I use the fileserver on Windows 2000, but it's a version prior to the
1.4.0 release.
I have regularly problems with the volserver and the salvager
(crashing), but it's just for fun and for using some of the disk
space for AFS on my Windows box.
