Hi Matt,
You can't hide the root domain from being listed in the Log on to field.
When you don't see this you have a trust issue with the root.
You could use UPN names to logon, username@domain.com, which blanks out the
Log on to field but if a user backspaces and removes the @domain.com from
their alias the domain list is made visible.
The only real solution to make the domain list hidden at logon is to Require
Smart Cards for interactive logon. The user still has a domain user account
and password plus they have to enter a pin when they insert the card for
logon. To make this work you would need to apply SP2 to the Windows XP
Machines or the hotfix mentioned below and Enable the policy setting called
"To specify that users can log on to the computer only by using a smart
card" in GPO.
As an Admin it might be cumbersome to carry an additional card around for
enterprise management but you could use RunAs to manage everything once you
are logged in.
