WDS Unattended Answer File - Not Auto Logging-In to Domain

I am trying to create an Answer file to pass domain login credentials (not to join the domain) when the WDS server is booted via PXE to install Windows 10 on a laptop. The server is on the domain and is running Window Server 2016 Standard version 1607 OS build 14393.5786.

I have followed several examples on this website as well as other walkthroughs, but not having any luck getting this to recognize.

I am generating the file through WSIM with the only component being the WDS Login Credentials and the language settings. Credentials are added as the format below. I setup the UI language so it bypasses the "Next" button when it first boots.

• Domain: Domainname.com (which is the FQDN)

• Password: mypassword

• Username: domainname/username (the domain name minus the ".com")

WSIM

I have tried different combinations in the answer file, however I am able to manually type my credentials in that format when the login window pops up. The system will also accept [email protected] when typed in manually WDS Login

I have my answer file attached to the Install Image Properties as well as the Server Properties in the Client tab Install Image Properties Server Properties

Here is the message I am getting. Which cannot be true because if I take away the unattend file, and type in credentials manually (as stated above), it will let me continue. Error

Am I missing a piece to the Answer file creation? Why won't it accept the same credentials in the answer file. Here is the copy+paste from the file which was generated.
