WDS unattended file not working

[legopc]

A friend of mine wanted me to make his WDS server so that he did not have to enter credentials every time. So i created a client unattended XML file using ADK and using a Windows Server 2012 R2 standard install image and added amd64_Microsoft-Windowns-Setup_neutral to windowsPE and then entered my credentials under Login then validated and all was fine, but when ever i try to add the XML file under Client and then both x86 and x64 it doesn't do anything.... i mean nothing no error no nothing. I have tried using several premade XML files but none worked i even tried it on multiple servers but it still doesn't work. So i would like to know what i am doing wrong, did i make a stupid mistake or is it something else because i really cannot find out what i have done wrong
Here is the XML file i use:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">
<settings pass="windowsPE">
<component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

Could you please give a example what you mean?
Autologin to WDS server , or Deploying Windows OS clients without entering password.

I love WDS server, and setup my WDS few years ago, and I don't have lot of expertise with WDS.

I mean so that when my friend boots up a new server then boots from WDS selects the language and then goes straight to selecting the install image and doesnt have to enter domain\admin and password.

Here is my bootstrap.ini
[Settings]
Priority=Default

[Default]
DeployRoot=\\WDS1\DeploymentShare$
UserID=MDT
UserDomain=WDS1
UserPassword=Passw0rd
KeyboardLocale=en-US
SkipBDDWelcome=YES

I think you mean without entering the password in the first phase .
In my case, I created a dummy user MDT with a generic password = Password .

Do i need to use MDT because i have never ever worked with it before and i think the same could be done with an answering file
