I'm using the syntax below and these settings will not show up after I, update deployment share, regenerate boot images, then add those images to WDS to PXE boot off of them.
UserDomain=DOMAIN
UserID=UserName
UserPassword=Password

Any time you make any changes to bootstrap.ini you must update your deployment share (which recreates your boot media). If you don't then the only place that your new bootstrap file exists is on the server, and the purpose of bootstrap is to live on your media, be it USB, DVD, CD or PXE.
As for logs, you would really benefit from learning where the logs are as trying to debug a build without logs is never going to be fun.
Look in X:\minint\smsosd\osdlogs, C:\minint\smsosd\osdlogs or C:\Windows\Temp\DeploymentLogs depending on what stage of your deployment you're at.

I have seen where changes to the bootstrap.ini does not trigger the boot disks to update. As this post goes, deleting the boot disks and recreating them seem to be the only fix.

Thanks everyone. Just to recap, Yes, I was updating the deploymentshare and completely regenerating the boot images, and yes, I was adding those boot file to WDS.
My deployment share at the time was pretty basic, so I just removed it, and created a whole new one, and that seemed to fix my issue.
