    For the benefit of the community - we confirmed that Preview build 26296 has the fixes for this issue. You can use 26296 as a guest OS in MSLab and you should not encounter the issues described in this thread. Several of us have tested this image to confirm. The fixes should reach the production version of Windows Server 2025 in approximately another month, considering the usual deployment schedule.

    Many thanks to Karl-WE for being a great partner and helping us to debug this!

repeating the same with a different release like Windows Server 2022, the initial DSC configuration won't cause any issues.

When this issue was reported back in the days, the problem was a bit different.
Back then using WS2025 ISO, the DSC config worked and then the DC failed to boot when being imported as Hyper-V VM from the DC template VHDX. So clearly, now this process fails much earlier, so I cannot rate if the initially reported issue still exist.

Example of DC creation with WS2022 ISO instead of WS2025
