Login window to Name and password

I know there is an item in Config Profiles called Login Window that I can change the login screen to display Name and password instead of list of users. The problem is this payload comes with a bunch of other items in the Options, Access, and Script tabs to worry about. Is there a script I could run in a policy that changes the login window to Name and password?

It looks like I found it
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow SHOWFULLNAME -bool true

I recommend building a custom profile with just the key you need.. I use the server app to start( because I'm not that smart). Then I change the change the file type to .plist in the GUI, then I edit out the keys I don't need with Xcode, change the file back, then you have to sign the profile in configurator or jamf pro with reset it to it's default when you upload...

You could build the profile from scratch if you know what your doing but I don't. : )

hope this helps!!!
