customization and Administrator password

Hello,

I'm trying to do a raw windows 2019 template and then use VmWare Using customization to do the rest.

info:

  • Template already has the build in "Administrator" with password
  • in the customization i set the same password
  • Generate a new security identity (SID) is checked
  • Check in log in automatically as Administrator once ( as i want to join domain and set hostname)

Issue: After customization is run,

Windows now asked for resetting the windows administrator password. Meaning that the login x time in the customization template will work only after manual reset.

This breaks the automation. Any way to fix this? (windows 2016 and windows 2019 tested)

/Martin

Might be related to newer, then 1803.

Pending VmWare support case for confirmation.
