What happens if your Automated Device Enrollment profile is configured to skip the creation of a local macOS account?

The correct answer is A. The user logs in using a network account or another account created outside of Setup Assistant. Skipping local account creation requires alternative login. The macOS Deployment Reference states, "If ADE skips local account creation, users must log in with a network account or another pre-existing account created outside Setup Assistant."
