How to remove unwanted Windows domain accounts and local account from Linux Mint 17 login screen?
I added Linux mint 17 as a member of Windows 2008R2 domain controller. When I login to my domain account and switch user, I see a bunch of unwanted domain accounts and local machine accounts. I need to know how to remove these unwanted accounts. Here's a list of the accounts I see on the login screen:
- mydomainadministrator
- mydomainguest # this account is disabled on the domain however it's still showing up
- mydomainkrbtgt # not sure what to do with this one
- hostnameAdministrator # need to remove this one, not sure why I have
two of them - hostnameGuest # need to remove this one
- Administrator # need this one for local administration
I am not sure if I have to edit and exclude them from /etc/mdm/mdm.conf. I forgot to mention that I am not using simple GDM style. I am using simple UserList GDM.

How did you join the domain?

I used likewise-open and executed domainjoincli command. It's working fine with single UserInterface but not with single UserList. I need to modify this list but I don't know how.

I found this Q&A on AU that sounds like what you're looking for. It's titled: How to hide users from the GDM login screen?. There are several answers, but one in particular sounded the most promising.
This one involved editing the schema file, /etc/gdm/gdm.schema and changing this section:
(original)
<schema>
<key>greeter/IncludeAll</key>
<signature>b</signature>
<default>true</default>
</schema>
(after my edit)
<schema>
<key>greeter/IncludeAll</key>
<signature>b</signature>
<default>false</default>
</schema>
This has the effect of turning all user-listing off.
