Two User Accounts and MS-Wallpaper when locking the PC

Hello,

it's about two things.

I install with an Autounattend.xml. there the account User is created (Admin).

1.)
But as you can see in the video in the login window at the bottom left, two accounts are displayed... Is that normal? I actually only want to use one account - the administrator account. Is there a setting for this in NTLite?

2.)
You can also see that I am using my own wallpaper.
This is displayed as desired on the login screen and also when I log in on the Windows desktop.
Only not when I lock the PC (not log off, I just mean lock),
I think a Microsoft wallpaper appears.
Again, is there an NTLite setting so that my wallpaper is also displayed when I lock the PC?

Thank you.
(machine translated - if someone speaks German, that would be even better) :-)
 
From Unattended mode, you can choose to use the built-in Administrator as your primary account.

MS doesn't recommend this practice, because as Administrator, there are no UAC protections to prevent user errors and makes it easier for malware to execute.

From the Registry screen, add this reg file to select your Lock Screen wallpaper:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization]
"LockScreenImage"="C:\\Windows\\Web\\Screen\\img103.png"
 
I try this with ""LockScreenImage"="C:\\Windows\\Web\\Screen\\img100.jpg" and it doesnt work?

I have / use my own Autounattend.xml - do you have Code for me to replace it?

Code:
            <UserAccounts>
                <LocalAccounts>
                    <LocalAccount wcm:action="add">
                        <Name>User</Name>
                        <Group>Administrators</Group>
                        <Password>
                            <PlainText>true</PlainText>
                            <Value>123456</Value>
                        </Password>
                    </LocalAccount>
                </LocalAccounts>
            </UserAccounts>
 
You can use (free) NTLite to create the unattended file, and copy/paste the XML blocks to your autounattend.xml file.
Code:
    <settings pass="oobeSystem">
        <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
            <UserAccounts>
                <AdministratorPassword>
                    <PlainText>false</PlainText>
                    <Value>MQAyADMANABBAGQAbQBpAG4AaQBzAHQAcgBhAHQAbwByAFAAYQBzAHMAdwBvAHIAZAA=</Value>
                </AdministratorPassword>
                <LocalAccounts>
                    <LocalAccount wcm:action="add">
                        <DisplayName>Qu1goN</DisplayName>
                        <Group>Administrators</Group>
                        <Name>Administrator</Name>
                        <Password>
                            <PlainText>false</PlainText>
                            <Value>MQAyADMANABQAGEAcwBzAHcAbwByAGQA</Value>
                        </Password>
                    </LocalAccount>
                </LocalAccounts>
            </UserAccounts>
        </component>
    </settings>
    <settings pass="specialize">

                    <Path>net user Administrator /active:Yes</Path>
                    <WillReboot>Never</WillReboot>
                </RunSynchronousCommand>
                <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">

                    <Path>net user Administrator /fullname:"Qu1goN"</Path>
                    <WillReboot>Never</WillReboot>

            </RunSynchronous>
        </component>

Thank you - LockScreen problem solved.

Just need the reg file. The image is already copied automatically from the USB stick ...sources\$OEM$$\$$\Web\Screen\img100.jpg

So for me:

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PersonalizationCSP]
"LockScreenImageStatus"=dword:00000001
"LockScreenImagePath"="C:\\Windows\\Web\\Screen\\img100.jpg"
"LockScreenImageUrl"="C:\\Windows\\Web\\Screen\\img100.jpg"

But I have found a second solution..
This means deactivating the following two settings in NTLite “Settings” under “Privacy” (see screenshot), then you don't need the reg file at all.

Now I'm going to test the thing with the account. I will then report again.
 
You should learn how to use the Unattended mode, so you can recreate a new autounattend.xml with your preset file.

Ok thank you for testing, i make a new one with NTILite... installation is running. Update in a view minits - pozdrav.

Maybe I took a wrong autounattend.xml by mistake... a few came together on the desktop during testing :)

EDIT:

Doesn't work, I don't understand something or I'm doing it wrong. Try again with the one you changed for me.
I have now only changed the password 1234 to another one in two places (also four numbers) and changed the name in four places.

I don't have another file. That's the one I created for you, and used on a clean ISO.

If you allow NTLite to create an unattended file, there will be no errors. Maybe a missing setting, but no errors.
 
Now it works. Had probably taken the wrong one as mentioned (not yours) :-) Sorry.

Now I still have to try to customize. That this message is not displayed (see picture) and possibly autologon etc.. thanks for the moment.

Now it works fine. Again, thank you very much. ;)

Another Question.. is it possible to activate Windows Hello in NTLite?
For example, if I type in 1234, the last character, i.e. as soon as I tap the 4, it logs in directly without input or confirmation with “enter”?
 
NTLite or any other tool can't activate Windows Hello for you. While it's easy to remove the secure credentials folder, you must manage the PIN by using the Settings control panel.
