Windows 10 - unable to build a sysprep image without OOBE

Thanks Kari, that worked.!!
I do not want an admin account to be visible up front - should I just skip the entire part:

Code:

<UserAccounts>
                <LocalAccounts>
                    <LocalAccount wcm:action="add">
                        <Description>Main local admin account</Description>
                        <DisplayName>Admin</DisplayName>
                        <Group>Administrators</Group>
                        <Name>Admin</Name>
                    </LocalAccount>
                    <LocalAccount wcm:action="add">
                        <Description>My daily standard account </Description>
                        <DisplayName>Kari</DisplayName>
                        <Group>Users</Group>
                        <Name>Kari</Name>
                    </LocalAccount>
                    <LocalAccount wcm:action="add">
                        <Password>
                            <Value>UwBvAG0AZQBQAGEAcwBzAHcAbwByAGQAMQAyADMAUABhAHMAcwB3AG8AcgBkAA==</Value>
                            <PlainText>false</PlainText>
                        </Password>
                        <Description>A guest account</Description>
                        <DisplayName>Visitor in Casa Kari</DisplayName>
                        <Group>Guests</Group>
                        <Name>House Guest</Name>
                    </LocalAccount>
                </LocalAccounts>
            </UserAccounts>

Works like a Charm.!
I am setting it up for academic public systems where I am looking to setup deepfreeze. Would you suggest installing it before sysprep or after?

Thanks once again Kari. I'll share my observations.
