Basically, have the "integrated logon" checkbox in the installer not 
checked by default.  For end users, I generally encourage them to use 
different passwords on their personal machines from ones used for the 
REALM serving the AFS cell.  Having integrated logon on their machines 
doesn't help and sometimes causes problems.  (When and if I have 
specifics, bug reports will be filed.)

Any machines I setup that need integrated logon support can have the 
integrated logon enabled manually at install time (or later through the 
registry.)
