What are the User Groups assigned to administrator accounts in Windows Vista Home Basic?

Question

Windows Vista Home Basic does not have the local groups pane. How how can I tell what groups my user account is a member of?

I need to know so I can build an unattended installation, what group(s) should my first Admin user belong to?

This question falls outside the scope of serverfault.com topics, as explained in the faq

net user username should show group membership of a user account.

net localgroup should show what local groups exist on the machine.

There is a local group named Administrators on every Windows installation. If you want to make someone an administrator, add them to that.
