GEWIS Unlock tool

This is a simple Windows tool that allows (certain) users to sign off other users if Fast User Switching is disabled.

The tool is tailored to the GEWIS use case (e.g. it includes a check if Multivers is running before signing out a user).

Install

  1. Compile the project
  2. Copy the generated DLL (GEWISUnlockV2CredentialProvider.dll) to C:\Windows\System32
  3. Register the DLL using the modifications in register.reg

Uninstall

  1. Deregister the DLL using the modifications in unregister.reg
  2. Delete C:\Windows\System32\GEWISUnlockV2CredentialProvider.dll

Configuration

Without code modification, there is one setting: the SID of the group whose users may perform signouts. By default, this is the Power Users group.

Settings are stored in HKLM\SOFTWARE\GEWISUnlock. An example registry config can be found in configure.reg.
