Account not being removed from local Administrators group after 24 hours #108

Closed amullan01 closed 9 months ago

amullan01 commented 10 months ago

We are installing Make Me Admin via SCCM and Software Center. Our package creates the following registry value during installation: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sinclair Community College\Make Me Admin Value name: Admin Rights Timeout Value Data: 1440 (Decimal)

Logged in as local user, run Make Me Admin. Click Grant Me Administrator Rights button. Confirmed user account is added to the local Administrators group.

Expected behavior: User account is removed from the local administrators group after 24 hours

Observed behavior: User account is still in the local administrator account even after 27 hours.

Strangely, we confirmed that the user account is removed from local administrators group after 28 hours with the following value: Value name: Admin Rights Timeout Value Data: 680 (Hexadecimal)

Environment details: Windows 10 Version 22H2 Domain joined PC Using local (non-domain) account for testing Make Me Admin version 2.3.0

Are you sure that you enter the values as decimal? 680 Hexadecimal is around 1664 minutes (27 hour and a bit). 1440 Hexadecimal is 86 hours.

My apologies, indeed it was not correct, I was relying on the word of someone else, when I asked them to redo and confirm again that the value is in decimal and 1440, it works perfectly and the account was removed after exactly 24 hours. This issue can be closed. Thanks.
