Using DFS with WDS

Question

I am trying to setup WDS to use DFS for load balancing as discussed in this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/cc771324(v=ws.10)?redirectedfrom=MSDN for Windows Server 2016.
I have WDS and DFS setup and have created a REMINST namespace as discussed in this forum post:

however when I try to add the shared folder from a different server as a folder target WDS has issues starting or the images don't show up.
On my file server I have a share named Test and I add that to WDSServer\REMINST\Images\ImageGroup in DFS. It shows up in the WDS tools under Install Images but the images in my Test folder do not show up when actually trying to image a computer and if I try to restart WDS on the server I get an error saying that "the server did not start in a timely fashion". Previously when I added Test to my Images folder, all images were not showing up but I fixed that issue. Now I just need help on how to get a computer that I'm imaging to see the install images found in my ImageGroup folder.
