STS0 Template Not Creating Membership Groups with AutoSPInstaller

With my XML for AutoSPInstaller I create 6 Web Applications - 4 of these are created using the STS#0 template. Each has XML like this:

<WebApplication type="Other" name="Site Name" applicationPool="ConnectApplication Pool" url="https://SiteName.corp.company.com" port="443" UseHostHeader="true" AddURLToLocalIntranetZone="true" GrantCurrentUserFullControl="false" useClaims="true" useBasicAuthentication="false" useOnlineWebPartCatalog="false">
    <Database>
        <Name>Content_SiteName</Name>
        <DBServer />
        <DBAlias Create="false" DBInstance="SERVER\\INSTANCE" DBPort="" />
    </Database>
    <ManagedPaths />
    <SiteCollections>
        <SiteCollection siteUrl="https://SiteName.corp.Company.com" HostNamedSiteCollection="false" Owner="Comapny\\james" Name="SiteName" Description="Site Name" SearchUrl="https://portal.corp.company.com/search" CustomTemplate="false" Template="STS#0" LCID="1033" Locale="en-us" Time24="false" />
    </SiteCollections>
</WebApplication>

Under Site Settings > People and Groups - None of the site Have the sharePoint security groups created for them.

  • SiteName Owners
  • SiteName Members
  • SiteName Visitors

Instead There is only one security group listed - Excel Services Viewers - Why it picked this I have no idea

After AutoSPInstaller is Done If I create a Site Collection manually using STS#0 (Team Site) It does get the security groups.
