I thought they started blocking that work around.
Also +1 for describing things like the quotes and preferred username.
We had a guy doing remote file copy on a Unix system. Hr was given a sample like:
Scp john@server2:/data/incoming/filename.prt /home/john/files
He tried 5 times then complained to IT that the system couldn't find the file to transfer.
IT realized he wasn't replacing filename with his filename he just assumed the server new which file he wanted by typing filename. Lol.
Had a user given instructions to delete log data in C:/users/myusername/logs
User replies to IT: my system does not have a folder called "myusername"
Unless they remove local accounts all together or disable shift F10 in the OOBE this should work, it just sets up a local account through command prompt in a similar manner that lusrmrg.msc would.
That said I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if they remove local accounts altogether next.
I think that was part of a Windows 11 update, but I'd have to find the article
