You have to create the user account and then you set that account as the one you want to log into

Thanks very much!

I've tried this before and had the same problem. Ricktendo, does your suggestion mean that one cannot use the built-in Administrator account and have the unattended.xml actually work, and that one must in fact create another admin account under a different name? I have this problem any time I've used the toolkit to try to use the built-in admin account. It doesn't stick and I end up having to create a user after setup completes.

 

If one *can* use the built-in admin account in unattended, how do I ensure it will work?

Check out this PDF, it has info on setting the built in admin

NOTE: If you set "Administrator" as username, the build in administrator account will be enabled.
