Only one Synchronous command is not working in Unattend xml

Question

I am trying to automate OS installation by creating an answer file. I have included all the settings related to our organization. Only the domain join is not happening via command line in Firstlogon commands, but as I get the desktop it gets executed if given manually.

Can someone please help me with this? I have attached my answer file for reference below. (sensitive information has been edited)
