Want to see a neat trick? I know for sure this will work on VMware if anybody has it. Use packer to make a custom Windows server 2025 template, make sure to patch it too. Deploy said template. Now watch as you have no GUI. They updated a bunch of UI components, swapping out for 'modern' versions. And someone about these Appx versions get fucked when sysprep runs. It's been like this for months.
I have no idea if this works on other platforms.
