OS Installation Parameter OSUser Must Not Be "administrator" or "guest"

Symptom:

When I install an OS image with OSUser parameter "administrator" or "guest" the installation does not succeed on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003.

Solution:

The installation of Windows 2000 and Windows XP/Windows Server 2003 does not accept an OSUser parameter set to "administrator" or "guest".

The OSUser parameter is used to personalize the operating system software with Name and Organization and is restricted by Microsoft.
