Description

This module enables alternative access to servers and workstations
by modifying the support account's properties. It will enable
the account for remote access as the administrator user while
taking advantage of some weird behavior in lusrmgr.msc. It will
check if sufficient privileges are available for registry operations,
otherwise it exits.
