You can use the Libki client to enable Groovix server based reservations and authentication under Windows.
Security, privacy, and configuration are not handled by the Windows Libki or Groovix client.
- Create an admin user called gxadmin ( microsoft instructions )
- Create an unprivileged user called guser
- the password should not be used for any other accounts, you will need to enter it again in the next step
- the security question answers can be random and should be impossible to guess
- Enable automatic login on bootup for user guser :
- run netplwiz
- single click on guser in the user list so it is highlighted
- uncheck the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" box
- hit "OK" at the bottom of the dialog box
- verify guser as the user name and enter the password twice
- hit "OK" at the bottom of the dialog box
- Download the Libki client from http://open-sense.com/downloads/windows/Libki_Client_Installer.exe

and extract the files to C:\ProgramData\Groovix\Scripts
- Run groovix-setup.bat from that directory as administrator and answer any questions
