administrator account is not disabled about packer-templates HOT 5 OPEN

I dont have access to my vbox server now. But looking at this I'm thinking that removing

                <AdministratorPassword>
                    <Value>vagrant</Value>
                    <PlainText>true</PlainText>
                </AdministratorPassword>

from the postunattend.xml may keep the administrator user disabled.

I had the same thought earlier today.

According to this link, that section might be required. I'll try it later to see what happens.

Both Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup | Autologon and Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup | UserAccounts | AdministratorPassword sections are now needed for autologon in audit mode to work. Both of these settings should be added to the auditSystem pass.

Negative, without the admin password set, windows prompts for the admin password on first boot.

@spuder Is there a "disabled: true" option we could set in that section? Or a "hidden: true" option for the Administrator account specifically?

I haven't found much on google.
Perhaps something like this

net user administrator /active:no
