I followed Firegeier's guide to making the AutoUnattend.xml

I'm unable to automate the Local Account creation process. Everytime during installation it asks for UserName and Pass and Update Settings. Rest all are automated except these.

<UserAccounts>
<LocalAccounts>
<LocalAccount wcm:action="add">
<Group>Administrators</Group>
<Name>KS</Name>
<DisplayName>KS</DisplayName>
</LocalAccount>
</LocalAccounts>
</UserAccounts>

<ProtectYourPC>3</ProtectYourPC>

you must set the password

<LocalAccount wcm:action="add">
   <Password>
          <Value>{LocalAdminPassword}</Value>
          <PlainText>true</PlainText>
   </Password>
   <Description>local Admin-Account</Description>
   <DisplayName>lAdmin</DisplayName>
   <Group>Administrators</Group>
   <Name>lAdmin</Name>
</LocalAccount>

So, do you mean to say that description and password is mandatory?

Tried it, didn't work.

This is the code I used

<UserAccounts>
  <LocalAccounts>
    <LocalAccount wcm:action="add">
      <Password>
       <Value>Password</Value>
       <PlainText>true</PlainText>
      </Password>
      <Description>The Compulsive Tweaker</Description>
      <Group>Administrators</Group>
      <Name>KS</Name>
      <DisplayName>KS</DisplayName>
     </LocalAccount>
   </LocalAccounts>
</UserAccounts>

In fact, this part of the code isn't executed at all. Can't understand why. OOBE always pops up for account creation and Automatic Update Settings. Rest all are automated

  </AdministratorPassword>

  </LocalAccount>
- <LocalAccount wcm:action="add">

  <Name>User1</Name> 
  </LocalAccount>
- <LocalAccount wcm:action="add">

  </LocalAccount>
  </LocalAccounts>
  </UserAccounts>
- <AutoLogon>

  <Value>admin1password</Value> 
  <PlainText>true</PlainText> 
  </Password>
  <Enabled>true</Enabled> 
  <LogonCount>3</LogonCount> 
  <Username>Administrator</Username> 
  </AutoLogon>

I haven't figured out (or tried to) how to rename the built-in Administrator account. If you want to enable it, you must use username Administrator. You should have a password for Administrator, don't know if that one is mandatory. As for the rest, they are optional.

Setting Local Account Password didn't work. Will try setting admin pass. Rest all is same. Thx..

Tried putting admin pass. Still didn't work.
