Disable the SignUp Client temporarily.

I need to disable the SignUp Client on some of my workstations for maintenance, and don't want to uninstall. How can I do this?


The process is different depending on the client operating system.

  • Windows XP clients:

    Change the following registry value to "MSGina.dll" instead of "NTGina.dll" and reboot.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GinaDLL

    Change the value back to "NTGina.dll" to restore the client.

  • Vista and Windows 7 clients:

    Run this command as Administrator:

    regsvr32 "%PROGRAMFILES%\Pharos\Bin\SUCredentialProvider.dll" /u

    To re-enable the client, run:

    regsvr32 "%PROGRAMFILES%\Pharos\Bin\SUCredentialProvider.dll"
  • Windows 8.0, 8.1 and 10 clients:

           Run this command as Administrator:

      regsvr32 "%PROGRAMFILES(x64)%\Pharos\Bin\SUCredentialProvider.dll" /u

          To re-enable the client, run:

      regsvr32 "%PROGRAMFILES(x64)%\Pharos\Bin\SUCredentialProvider.dll"
