I also had a hard time while trying to assign an IP address to my Windows machine by using Autounattend.xml answer file. I finally gave up and used a script to manually set the IP, like this:

<settings pass="specialize">

<component name="Microsoft-Windows-Deployment" 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">

<RunSynchronous>

<RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">

<Order>1</Order>

<Description>Network setup</Description>

<Path>A:\netconfig.cmd</Path>

</RunSynchronousCommand>

</RunSynchronous>

</component>

This is my netconfig.cmd file:

netsh interface ipv4 set address name="Ethernet0" static 10.240.30.101 255.255.255.0 10.240.30.1

netsh interface ipv4 set dns name="Ethernet0" source=static address=10.240.0.10 primary

netsh interface ipv4 add dnsservers name="Ethernet0" address=10.240.100.12 index=2

Hope that helps.
