Windows 2016 standard
VMware vSphere 6.5
I just built a new vm template with windows server 2016 standard and all updated as of 12/17/2018. as part of this I renamed the Administrator to _newName, then converted the vm to a template.
I created a new vm from the template using a profile from Customization Specification Manager. Powred on the server and was prompted to change the password for user _NewName. It logged in as _NewName, then automatically logged out to complete the configuration. (all normal at this point)
However after reboot the server then prompts you to logon as Administrator. I login to finat that it has renamed the _NewName account back to Administrator, and my changes to the its profile are gone, yet if I add a new user the changes I made to the default profile are there.
So my question is why is the sysprep resetting the Administrator account.
Thank you for any help
