Hi Guys,

We have like 40-50 mac minis that are setup to display a list of users at login. I would like to change these to display Name and Password instead.

I've been hunting for a script but coming up blank. Wondering if you dudes had any ideas?

Thanks

    You can also use the Managed Preferences to specify under Login Window: "Display Mode Level: True" which forces name/password entry instead of list of users.
