Hi there, 

This option was working till macOS Sequoia. 

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow AdminHostInfo HostName

This is working with a profile but now with macOS Sequoia it stops working. 

Anyone see the same problem and is there a solution?

Thanks

I was using Nomad for logins and I found the Host info had moved from the top right of the screen, to the bottom left of the Nomad login window. So try clicking in different places on the screen.

Thanks for input - I click on different places but no succes

IP in menubar is  great app we deploy on all our macs.

Monkeybread Software - Freeware - IP in menubar 4.7.1

We also have a plist they we deploy with it.

 

<dict> <key>DisplayText</key> <true/> <key>SmallFont</key> <true/> </dict> </plist>

and a start up item payload.

 

Thanks for your input, put the option (what is not working) gives not only the IP numer but also computername (sometimes handy here)
