When I used 7490 on an image and used the autoattend.xml that it creates and did the exact same thing in the exact same way with 7501 windows setup when its finalizing gives me a window that says other user. The only choice I have is to put my username that i used when filling out my autoattend through ntlite. It finishes and boots into windows fine but I'm a local guest account and there's no way to change it. 7490 did everything without any input from me and when I checked my account it said local account administrator, which is what i want. Thanks for any help. BTW I used the same image both times 19041_329_pro_en_us_x64 and followed the exact same steps both times.

Versions behave the same in that regard.

Make sure not to Skip User creation in OOBE Unattended settings, if you want a prompt.
If you want a new user automatically, add Local User in the toolbar before applying.

If the resulting installation is not as you see it in the Tool's UI, please attach the preset (if no private data, send PM instead may be better).
Make sure you actually updated the USB or ISO image, maybe test in a virtual machine first.

Thx For the reply. I just noticed something when filling out the unattended page in ntlite. I've always hit the autofill button in the toolbar, got the local account prompt, filled in my name and checked autologin. and i always skip everything under the out of box experience section on the unattended page. I also always remove oobe and autopilot and never get a prompt during windows setup. That doesn't work anymore with 7501. So I did the same steps except this time I went to the unattended page hit add local account on toolbar filled it out as before and then hit autofill, ignored the local account prompt and created the image and this time it worked, 0 prompts during setup. It seems like autofill doesnt work properly for me anymore.

Finally figured it out. If using autofill on the unattended page where the computer name is the same as the username it wont work lol. There was always that conflict during setup
 
Mine was all screwed up because I use fully unattended and when the pc name was the same as the username i filled out in ntlite all I got was a prompt for other user during setup. If I type in my username it finishes and logs in but only with a local guest account, but it's all fixed now.
 
my answer files are several years old now, you dont have to redo them every nw build unless you need to make changes of course.
 
yes if they are in the root as you state. but, there is always a but,,,,
windows setup looks everywhere for an answer file and if it finds more than one, say you have your main storage drive connected and you have multiple answer files on it, say 1 each for 7 8.1 and 10 then setup will fail because it will find multiple values and get confused. likewise if you have a different answer file for each w7 edition present setup will get confused and fail. if you keep multiple answer files, rename the ones you dont need for that install. windows will also search any optical drives soif you have a cd or dvd in there remove it if you dont need it.

ntlite has an option to put the answer file inside the image so if you have a multi edition disc/usb you can have an answer file for each one.
see where it says "copy to install image"? i think thats the one you select, not sure cosive never used that but im certain im correct.
