    Thank you, I think the possible mistake I have made is the switch to OOBE in the first place when in Audit mode.

    First off all, thanks for this massive tutorial. I've been checking it last few weeks and trying my own unattended installation. I've ran into 1 problem. I want 1 user account created without any prompt for a password. So that windows logs in automatically and proceeds with the installation. I keep getting a prompt for setting a new pw. Can i get some help fixing this?

    You are missing the autologon part in the unattend.xml. I have my work laptop not here, but I think it should be in the Shell_Setup for oobeSystems. Without you only create the account with that password, but you do not login automatically

    In OobeSystem > User Accounts, create a local admin account with password:
    Create media for automated unattended install of Windows 10-image.png

    Add component Shell-Setup > Autologon to answer file in configuration pass 7 OobeSystem:
    Create media for automated unattended install of Windows 10-image.png

    Enable Autologon, use same user account as the admin user and password you have already set up, set LogonCount to 2:
    Create media for automated unattended install of Windows 10-image.png

    Important is that Autologon account exists, and that it has a password.

    In answer file, that looks like this:
    Create media for automated unattended install of Windows 10-image.png

    This user will be set in netplwiz as autologon user.

    7.12) When reference machine has booted to desktop, sign in to your administrator account using password you set in answer file in step 4.8

    At the above step, I am unable to sign in as administrator as its not accepting my password. I can try few workarounds but I am not sure how it is going to affect the image creation process.

    Please advise. Thanks

    That's quite straight forward: if the password does not work, it is wrong.

    If you follow the instructions exactly as written, you create a local admin account in step 4.8, giving it a password. In step 7.12, you then sign in to reference machine using this local admin account with its password.

    If password is not accepted, you do not enter it correctly.

    warning   Warning
    You must be careful in step 4.8 when creating password! For security reasons, when you save an answer file containing password, it will be encrypted by default and cannot be recovered. Opening answer file will show the encrypted password, as shown in this extract from my standard unattend.xml answer file:
    Create media for automated unattended install of Windows 10-image.png

    The smallest typo invalidates the password. If you thought that in step 4.8 you set password for your local admin account as MyPassword, but accidentally typed it in System Image Manager as Mypassword (lowercase p instead of uppercase), it will not work when you enter password as MyPassword.

    Although it is a security risk not to encrypt the password, if you want to you can disable encrypting by setting <PlainText> value to TRUE:
