Deployments via the Windows Media Creation Tool do not work, you should be deploying only with Volume License Media.
*also, if that is your companies license key, I would edit your post to x those out.

Even with those keys, I have not been able to get and ISO built with Windows Media Creation Tool to work. Which is ok, because again, it is not Volume License and would be against Microsoft EULA. - cserrins 5 years ago

I used the tool MediaCreationTool1809.exe without problems to create media ISO but the ISO had to be burned to a dual layer DVD it was 4.23 gig in size - SMal.tmcc 5 years ago
You are using the a KMS key with a non Volume Licensed ISO, is not going to work. There is a Windows built in script that verifies the SKU number in your ISO, and is unable to find NW6C2-QMPVW-D7KKK-3GKT6-VCFB2 as a valid key for your ISO, because that is not a volume licensed ISO.
You either purchase a golden serial number (Multiple Activation Key) that comes with access to a Volume Licensed ISO, OR, go to your company's Volume Licensed Site, and download the ISO.
