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 and security question answers can be random but should be impossible to guess

Enable automatic login on bootup for user guser by
- running netplwiz
- unchecking the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" box
- entering the password for guser

Download the Libki client from http://open-sense.com/downloads/windows/Libki_Client_Installer.exe

If you get a "Windows protected your PC" message, click on "More info" and then "Run Anyway"

Run the installer and click Next

Enter These Values ( leave others blank , click "Next" as necessary) :

Scheme: http

Host : ip/hostname of your Groovix server

Location: ( GX_SITE)

Run for all users but this one: gxadmin

Client Name: ( GX_LABEL )

Logout Action: Reboot

Client Disable Password: ( different password from gxadmin and gxstaff , To bypass Libki Client on user sign in, leave username blank and enter this password and click Log In )

Click Install
