Account issues when using Sysprep
So I've got a set of virtual machines i'm setting up, and I want to create a "base image" I can use to clone for each one. So, I created a new VM, installed Windows 10 Pro (unactivated), downloaded the latest updates, then ran Sysprep and told it to "Generalize" and shut down. I then copied the vhdx to a safe place for cloning.
Now, when I boot the new image, it forces me to create a new account (even though there is already an account that I created prior to generalizing). Ok, fine. I create a temp account, then promptly reboot after first login to the other account i'd setup to delete the temp account.
Here's where it gets weird. The account is a Microsoft account, and where it used to say my name (which is associated with the account), now it only shows the email address. I can't seem to find a way to get it to re-acquire the Account information.
Everything else I've used seems to work otherwise, but this one glitch is mildly annoying. Is there any way to skip forced account creation after generalizing? Or alternatively, delete the account automatically when shutting down after generalizing?
