W11 24H2 Administrator Account listed as "?????????????"

[STYLEM1XED]

Hello!!! Administrator account not working on Windows 11 Pro 24H2!!! First this preset worked on 23H2. Then I made a new preset for 24H2. But the problem did not go away.

I apologize if I asked the question incorrectly in English, it's not my main language!!!View attachment 13773View attachment 13774

Tested now, 24H2 + Unattended + Add local user + tick enable Administrator with this account.
All good, it installed and Administrator account is enabled.
Maybe if you DM me the non-working preset with some example password for the user (or no password) from a preset that you confirmed is not having the Administrator account enabled while having that option in the Unattended enabled.

I tried. This issue does not occur in English language versions of Windows. The problem is related to the Cyrillic letters in the autounattend.xml file.
Russian = Администратор
English = Administrator

I think NTLite is generating Cyrillic characters in the wrong encoding in the autounattend.xml file.
Please help fix this problem.

Technically this isn't a NTLite problem. You're allowed to use non-ASCII characters for your account's name, but it won't be displayed correctly by Windows.

Maybe NTLite can provide a warning box (reset after every new Unattended session) if you have entered non-ASCII characters.

Name (microsoft-windows-shell-setup-useraccounts-localaccounts-localaccount-name)

Specifies the name of a LocalAccount. Name is a string with a maximum length of 256 characters.

Do not use any of the following characters: / \ [ ] : | < > + = ; , ? * % @

Do not use the name "NONE", this is a restricted username.

This string type does not support empty elements. Do not create an empty value for this setting.

Some Unicode characters such as emoji appear as with the placeholder character: ? (question mark) in command prompts, but appear correctly in other locations such as File Explorer.

Users who sign-in with a Microsoft account will frequently see that their underlying profile path does not match their firstname / lastname. When this happens, you will see an account in the form: username_001.[/td]
