I believe you that that way works today, but once knowledge of it starts to spread, I expect Microsoft to break it, just like they previously broke Shift+F10 "oobe\bypassnro" and "start ms-cxh:localonly".

It has worked all along and MS can't break it because I have the ISO that it works with.

It's unlikely it can be broken without totally abandoning the server market and disrupting a lot of existing installations --- which would be a marketing disaster.

There will always be a way to create local accounts in Windows because they are intrinsic to how windows actually works.

  • There may always be a way, but every few months the existing way will stop working and people will need to discover a new way.

    • Thats exactly my point, they will keep closing loopholes but they will never truly stop people doing it without removing local accounts completely, which they cant do.
