I'm new to AFS and haven't been able to get the Win32 server working. 
The following is the error I get:

-----START ERROR-----
Second error:
Error - AFS Server Configuration
A configuration error has occurred
Error: timed out waiting for the AFS bosserver control service to start 
or stop (0x00004634)

-----END ERROR-----

The is the result of going through the Server Configuration Wizard. It 
gets through all the steps and then fails when it tries to start the 
bosserver.

Any ideas as to how I can resolve this problem?
