I just use the .msi and set just auto obtain tolens active, our DNS does
not hold AFS entries.

I cannot tell.
I did some (cold) restarts of the win machines today and they never came
back to start the OpenAFS service, everytime this error.
Just as the load on server went down a bit, I did a bos restart server
- -all on ALL my db and fileserver.
And now the win machines boot up and AFS service starts like yesterday.
Looks like a bad state of server/client communication, forced with often
up/down of network to one DB/fileserver, which keeps only a RO of the
root.cell/root.afs volumes.
In other words: now it works and I cannot debug any further. And I did
nothing to the clients other than try to restart AFS service and reading
afsd_init.log. I just bos restart all servers (which are all debian, one
1.4.6, three 1.4.7)
