Hide Last Logon

[Joe]

Is it possible to hide the name of the last logon on a
Windows 2000 server? We don't want the administrator user
name to show up.

Set the Reg_Dword value of
"DontDisplayLastUserName" to 1
found at
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system

Run gpedit.msc.
Local Computer -> Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security
Settings -> Local policies -> Security Options
Find the option "Do not display last user name" and enable it.

That's what you do for a local login. I would think for a domain login that
there would be a similar security setting.
