MDT Windows 10 Setup Screen

Question

Hello, This is my first time setting up and using MDT on Windows Server 2019. I am testing mdt and I am not sure if this is possible, After I install windows 10 I would like it to go to the "setup screen" after it installs. So I can setup user accounts and other settings before it can be used. I am not connecting any of the test computers to a domain. Also if there is a way to get to the setup screen. Is there a way MDT does not use the Administrator account. If I could disable it after windows installs?

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for posting in Microsoft MECM Q&A forum.

1.We could customize the SkipWizard properties in CustomSettings.ini and BootStrap.ini to determine whether we skip the Deployment Wizard pages or not. For example:
[settings]
Priority=Default
[Default]
SkipBDDWelcome=NO
SkipTaskSequence=NO
SkipComputerName=No
SkipDomainMembership=No
SkipLocaleSelection=NO

For more information, please refer to: Providing Properties for Skipped Deployment Wizard Pages

2.We can use below command line in a Run command line task sequence step to disable local Administrator account. We can also do this via GPO after installation.
cmd.exe /c net user Administrator /active:no

Best regards,
Simon
