Windows 7 and sysprep

Question

An annoyance.  I have a sysprep'd Windows 7 x64 Ghost image.  Prior to creating the image my setup workstation's computer name is set to "win7image".  My sysprep is configured so that all I have to do once I lay this image on another
computer is to give the computer a name.
Shortly after naming the computer, I am prompted to logon (for the first time).
The login prompt is already populated with "win7image\MyAdmin"
When I try to logon with the local MyAdmin account or any other account my sysprep has created, I get a message that the "The domain name is not valid.  Please try again."
I am able to logon but I must use the syntax "computername\MyAdmin" which is annoying.  I would like to type only my local account name because we recently switched to a cumbersome naming convention that I loath to type.
Is there something I am missing in my unattend.xml file?
Thanks for any comments.
Ed

Hi,
As far as I know, if computer is in domain, it will priority log on to domain. Please notice where it log on to when typing the username.
Also, please verify the following group policy.
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Option -> disable "Interactive logon: Do not display last user name"
After disabling this policy, the name of the last user to log on is displayed. If the issue persists, you can type with ".\MyAdmin" instead of full
computer name.
Best Regards,
Niki
