    I have a fresh install of MDT 2012 I have the option set in my CS to: SkipAdminAccounts=NO, SkipAdminPassword=NO to display the Local Administrators wizard page. When I run the wizard it does not disply the Local Administrators wizard page. I have read the Toolkit Library help docs and it appears that I have set everything up correctly.  I have bulit a few TS to see if it could been a bad one but they all skip this page. Here is my current CS.ini which is basic settings. Am I missing something?

    [Settings]
    Priority=Default
    Properties=MyCustomProperty

    [Default]
    SkipAdminAccounts=NO
    SkipAdminPassword=NO
    OSInstall=Y
    SkipCapture=YES
    SkipProductKey=YES
    SkipComputerBackup=YES
    SkipBitLocker=YES

    It only appears if you choose "join domain" instead of workgroup when asked.

    Ok that did it now the next question. I have a custom Pane in MDT 2010 that will add a domain user as a local admin. Can I do the same with this option? I am setting up a VM right now to confrim this.

    Hi Paul,

    Can you just mark Guillaume Rémy's post as the answer and ask your 2nd question in a new thread, please.

    1 A new post thread doesn't cost anything

    2 it keeps the thread short and to the point

    3 It's a nice way to say thanks to Guillaume Rémy for taking his own time to help you.

    4 At least say thanks to Guillaume Rémy. Manners cost nothing.

    No worries, I'm used to people's lack of good manners.

    Thanks for taking the time to remind me and police the forums. My plan was mark as an Answer but I wanted to confirm things worked in my VM before I did so. After checking my VM and I have confirmed that the account was added as described.

    Guillaume Rémy thanks so much for the quick reply and fix and sorry about my "bad manners."

    You can get rid of your custom pane entirely, the new method works fine.

    Please make sure you have this in your cs.ini SkipAdminAccounts=NO this will allow you to see the local admin pane.
