When the MLA is installed, UNC paths of the form \\AFS\cellname\path may be used.
+The MLA is installed without binding the "Client for Microsoft Networks" or
+"File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks". If you bind these options
+to the MLA there will be a conflict between the name "AFS" and the name of
+the machine on the published IP Address. This may result in a failure to be
+able to access files in AFS. The "NET VIEW" command will return a "System
+Error 52" message when this conflict exists. To correct the problem:
+
+ * stop the AFS Client Service
+ * unbind the "Client for Microsoft Networks" and "File and Printer Sharing
+ for Microsoft Networks" from the MLA
+ * Disable and then Enable the MLA
+ * start the AFS Client Service
+
3. Traditionally, when the AFS Client Service starts it must be able to
access the "root.afs" volume of the default cell. The "root.afs" volume
disabling of the signature check.
+29. OpenAFS for Windows implements an SMB server which is used as a
+gateway to the AFS filesystem. Because of the use of SMB, Windows
+stores all files into AFS using the OEM code pages such as CP437 (United
+States) or CP850 (Western Europe). These code pages are incompatible
+with the ISO Latin-1 character set typically used as a default on Unix
+systems in both the United States and Western Europe. Filenames stored
+by OpenAFS for Windows are therefore unreadable on Unix systems if they
+include any of the following characters:

+As of 1.3.75, a new registry value, HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client
+"StoreAnsiFilenames" can be set to instruct OpenAFS for Windows to store
+filenames using the ANSI Code Page instead of the OEM Code Page. The ANSI
+Code Page is a compatible superset of Latin-1. This setting is not the
+default setting because making this change would prevent OpenAFS for Windows
+from being able to access filenames containing the above characters which
+were created without this setting.
+
+
+30. There is a known issue with storing Windows Roaming Profiles when
+the profile contains either directories or files with names which cannot
+be represented in the local OEM character set. In this case, attempts
+to write the profile back to AFS will fail. OpenAFS for Windows does
+not currently support UNICODE. To avoid this problem some sites run
+logoff scripts (assigned by group policy) which rename all files to use
+only the supported characters for the locale.
