Windows XP Unattendant XP PRO installation with RIS

[ataglietti]

Hi to all,

Here is my test env:
I have a win 2003 Standard R2 SP2 virtual server with RIS/WDS installed and I have to deploy Win XP in an unattendant mode,
so I riprep a virtual pc with xp pro (with office 2003,java,acrobat reader..(all the stuff I need) and i have modified the sif file in the "template" folder of my riprep image for making a complete unattendant installation.

what happen:

When the pxe deployment starts I select my image with the sif file I have created then the installation starts and is compleately silent but the pc at the end do not automatically joint the domain and do not create the local administrator account...what am I missing?

Here is my riprep.sif file:
