Autounattend Error after name removal

I'm attempting to use an "open" Autounattend file, where user name a computer name need to be entered (as well as disk drive and Win 7 type).

With my details inserted, it works fine. Autounattend.xml EBF:

By removing my name and pc name I get an error at the"Setup is preparing your computer for first use" screen.
