Hide Domain Names on Login Screen (Host Preferences)

Use a Host Preference Package to deploy settings that clear the list of active domains on the host authentication dialog box. This provides an extra layer of security by forcing the client-side user to know the exact name of the chosen domain.

Before you begin:

Host Preference Packages can only be applied to Windows hosts.

Who can use this feature? The Host Preference Packages feature is available to any Account Holder of a LogMeIn Central Base account. For those Account Holders who have not switched over to a Base plan yet, a LogMeIn CentralPremier or Plus subscription is required. Users of such accounts also need the Configuration Management permission.

Host Preference Packages allow you to define and deploy preferences and security settings to Windows hosts in your LogMeIn Central account.

This option is not selected by default.

  1. Create a Host Preference Package, as follows:
    1. In LogMeIn Central, go to the Configuration > Host Preferences page.

      Result: The New Host Preference Package page is displayed.

    4. Click Save.

  4. Continue to add settings to the Host Preference Package. When ready, click Finish and Save.
