    Here is an example of an unattend.xml file that you can use:

    <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">
      <settings pass="specialize">
        <component name="Microsoft-Windows-ServerManager-Client-Shell-Setup">
          <UseLocalAccount>true</UseLocalAccount>
          <LocalAccountName>Administrator</LocalAccountName>
          <LocalAccountPassword>Pa$$w0rd</LocalAccountPassword>
        </component>
        <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup">
          <RegisteredOwner>Administrator</RegisteredOwner>
          <RegisteredOrganization>Contoso</RegisteredOrganization>
          <ComputerName>WIN2019</ComputerName>
        </component>
        <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Deployment-Tasks-Upgrade">
          <UpgradePackage>WindowsServer2019-Datacenter-Server-Eval-English-x64.msu</UpgradePackage>
        </component>
      </settings>
    </unattend>
