Sysprep with 2nd Adminstrator account

Hi everyone.
I following the guides and watching the vids on IA best practice. I have setup the OEM copy of windows, logged in and enabled the default Administrator account. Logged in as Administrator account and deleted the previous local admin that was created by windows setup.

Later in the video it recommends disabling teh Local Administrator account when completed but also says its a best practice to run the sysprep as the Local Administrator.

I've been creating scripts that on final auto-login disables the Local Adminsitrator account and creates a new local Administrator account.

My issue is it always fails on the adding this new custom Admin account to the "Administrators Group".
I know this works as I have tested numberous times with snapshots in the Hyper V environment.

So long story short, do you think I can create another Local Admin account in Computer Management before I sysprep? or will mutliple accounts stop the sysprep from working correctly?

thanks
