I just release a small update to Notifu. You can now display a pop-up without playing the system event sound (-q). Notifu also supports the Windows 7 quiet time. By default, pop-up will not be displayed in the first hour or so after the very first logon. I you must display a pop, you can ignore the quiet time with the –w flag.
Go ahead and download the new version.
There is a bug in my replacement GINA. I left a call to DebugBreak in my initialisation code.
When Winlogon can’t load a GINA, the server reboots. I run all my tests in virtual machines attached to a remote kernel debugger. I had set up a rule to ignore this first hardcoded breakpoint. In a regular environment, Winlogon did the only sensible thing to do when it received that unhandled exception : terminate.
That triggered the reboot process.
Please use version 1.4.5. I have updated the project page, binary and source code snapshot. I also updated my build script so that it never happens again.
Again with much help from user Abdul Khaliq, I can now offert you a 64 bits version of my replacement GINA, called aucun64.dll.
This release also comes with a important bug fix. You can donwload it here.
