@rtarr said in Boot Loop after Sysprepping a Golden Image VM:
It then boots to the login page for the local admin where install packages are located on the desktop.
I’m glad you have it worked out.
To extend what you have done just a bit more (if needed). Look at my unattend.xml script there are sections where to add local keyboard support (if you are not in the US) as well as it should have autoadmin login with a login count number that will cancel the auto admin login after X number of logins. If not you can add it to your unattend.xml file. That in conjunction with the run firstlogincommands where you can install any applications in an unattended manner as the local admin. The last firstlogincommand should be shutdown -r -t 0 that will reboot the computer leaving it at the login window.
I just looked and my posted unattend.xml file in the link does not included this section. I must have removed that before posting. But above is enough info for you to google it.
