Start with OpenAFS 1.5.20 release notes section 3.1.1
http://www.openafs.org/release/openafs-1.5.20.html

Yes. Some questions:

   Are the user names in sync between the two realms.

   Are the realm names the same? Does either match the cell name?

   Are you using aklog with krb524d currently?

The AFS KeyFile has only kvnos and keys, it does not know with what realm
the keys are associated, so you can have a kvno/key from the MIT server
and a different kvno/key from the AD. Just as long as the kvno's don't
match.

Just add users like any AD user.

Thats not an AFS question.  We use msktutil, it uses LDAP to add host
accounts in AD, and updates the Krb5 keytabs. (Google for msktutil)
Takes care of adding accounts, and setting all the AD options
for Kerberos service principals. including the afs/cellname@realm
principal.

Des only, and maybe the NO PAC option see:

Not if you use msktutil. There are some issues with what the "salt"
when ktpass  creats des keys from a password for service principals.

See questions on what are the realm names above. Sounds like you are usin=
g the
same realm names for AD and the krb5.
