Sysprep unattend first logon command error

[Sven Sivic]

Hello,


I am trying to create admin user that has "Password never expires" option with Unattend.xml. As I understand this can not be done while Sysprep, but rather on first log on. Therefore I wrote an Unattend.xml which looks like this:



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</unattend>



I get error that <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> is not valid. Any ideas?


Thanks in advance
