How to skip local user creation on Win10 install since there is already an local user in the image?

Hello,

I have prepared a Windows 10 image of my company, I have sypreped it and captured it with DISM. When deploying it, in OOBE prompts for local user creation. Problem is there is already a local administrator user created in the image prior to the capturing (not built-in Administrator).

Thing is that this user remains when the image is deployed but it asks for another user nevertheless. Is there any way to skip it?

Also, I have noticed that this user is logged on when the image is deployed.

Best regards,
Spyros

    Hi.
    You can try to create an answer file through Windows SIM and set the following two values to true in OOBE System to skip creating a local or online account.
    • HideOnlineAccountScreens
    • HideLocalAccountScreen
    Please save answer file and add to the image.

    Hello @XiuyunLian-msft,

    Thank you for your answer. I found a way around, by having the Answer File create again the local administrator account (probably re-writes it?) but the solution you propose seems much more legit.

    Thanks.
