This will sound very elementary and hoping it is for someone, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to display the Computer Name (or hostname) at the Mac OS X 10.8 login window.
You would think this would be a simple matter of going to the Management tab under Computer Management, going to Configuration Profiles, creating a profile with a Login Window payload, setting the profile to "Computer Level", and under Heading, choosing Name. Unfortunately, this does NOT work.
I need this info displayed as our users are trained to report trouble tickets using the Computer Name that shows at the login window. Under 10.6, this worked well, but 10.8, not so much.
Anyway, if someone knows how to do this simply (preferably with a Configuration Profile), that would be awesome.
Thanks,
