windows xp home workgroup doesn't stick?

[epu]

Hey users,

I'm making an unattended XP Home CD.

I'm following Beginning Users->Finalizing and testing CD steps to make sure my customized CD looks and works right.

In my WINNT.SIF, I have set my Workgroup using the lines

[identification]JoinWorkgroup=KIRBYS

But when the unattended install is finished, the workgroup is incorrectly set to MSHOME.

Any ideas on why it doesn't get set and stick?

(ie, Is there another or different set of XP Home options, is it always ignored, or overriden by something else?)

I noticed the virtual machine's network card wasn't detected: can no network break workgroup assignment?

Will check this out...

My WINNT.SIF is below.

Any advice appreciated.

That was it exactly (when the network is missing, the workgroup won't be set correctly).
