SYSPREP + 1709 = OOBE stuck at logon screen with "defaultuser0"
Okay, we've sliced and diced this every which way until Sunday.
When you prep an image for Windows 10 CBB Enterprise v1709, you'll get stuck at the logon screen during OOBE with "defaultuser0". You can hear Cortana babbling her spiel but you're basically dead in the water since OOBE didn't automatically logon with the "defaultuser0" account. We've done nothing out of the ordinary during the preparation of the image. Basically, we ran SYSPREP w/"generalize" and OOBE as the selected options. We then uploaded it to our WDS server after creating the image w/IMAGEX.
Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks!
First of all, I strongly recommend using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit to build and capture the image, it has built-in fixes for common issues.
That being said, the November 2017 CU seems to have fixed the OOBE issues in 1709, and to get Cortana to stop annoying you (and others), you can set a registry key during OS deployment.

I have a script you can add to a MDT task sequence here: https://github.com/DeploymentResearch/DRFiles/blob/master/Scripts/Config-DisableCortana.wsf
And, Anton has a post here on using that script: http://www.vacuumbreather.com/index.php/blog/item/60-disabling-cortana-voice-support-during-oobe

Thank you sir! We'll try this again. :)
- Hi Daniel, did you have a time to test it? It takes some hours and I've been busy lately, please let me know if it is finally working for you.
Regards,
I am having exactly this same issue. Did you solve it?
No, we can't seem to get passed this issue regardless of what we've tried.
