[OpenAFS] Problem configuring server on Windows 2000

[Ken Beal]

I have been able to configure the client and connect to openafs.org and
browse, so I know I have good connectivity and the OpenAFS client works.

However, I can't get the server to work.  The Server Configuration Wizard
complains about not being able to open the log file (which I fixed by
creating the directory "C:\PROGRA~\IBM\AFS\Serverlogs" and restarting the
Wizard).  When I get to the end, and click "Configure" it pauses for a
couple minutes and then gives error 0x00004634, saying it couldn't start the
BOS server.

So I did some Googling, and found three others who had the same problem;
unfortunately there were no replies to their messages:

https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2002-March/003833.html
https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2002-July/005151.html

The second link (from March of 2002) contains a log file, which is identical
to mine except for the date/time stamps and the name of the cell (hasbro.com
in the link, kenbeal.com in mine).  Has the server ever worked on Windows
platforms?

I also searched for "4634 openafs bos" and got only one hit, which is:

http://www.slac.stanford.edu/comp/unix/afs/openafs/doc/html/AdminReference/a
uarf284.htm

This is an index, and has an entry under "bos commands" for "setrestart
(4634)" which leads to this page:

http://www.slac.stanford.edu/comp/unix/afs/openafs/doc/html/AdminReference/a
uarf117.htm#IDX4634

Unfortunately this doesn't really give me much useful information (it
doesn't seem to be related to the error message; it tells how to configure
the BOS server to restart processes).

Can anyone help me configure the AFS Server on Windows 2000?

        Thanks,
        Ken
