Can't activate Windows 10 Enterprise via command prompt, but GUI activation will work.

Hello,

I've encountered an odd issue with Windows Enterprise activation recently. When I go to activate a newly WDS / MDT imaged computer using cmd line slmgr /ipk [MAK_productkey] & then slmgr /ato, I am receiving an error stating the product key is installed on another computer and has exceeded its limit. But, when I manually enter the same exact product key and activate Windows via the GUI activation option, Windows activates just fine. I've verified the key is valid, as we have thousands of MAKs available. Has anyone else had this issue before. If so, what was the resolution? Thanks!
