New-AzVM in powershell is not activating GUI in for Windows Server Datacenter Editions

Question

When I Crete a VM from Azure Console for "2022-datacenter-azure-edition-hotpatch" and connect to it I access the GUI. However if I create the VM via Powershell I go directly to sConfig.

How can I create the VM so that I have the GUI at startup?

Thanks

$VirtualMachine = New-AzVMConfig -VMName $ComputerName -VMSize 'Standard_B1ms'
$VirtualMachine = Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -VM $VirtualMachine -Windows -ComputerName $ComputerName -Credential $Credential -ProvisionVMAgent -EnableAutoUpdate
$VirtualMachine = Add-AzVMNetworkInterface -VM $VirtualMachine -Id $NIC.Id -DeleteOption "Delete"
$VirtualMachine = Set-AzVMSourceImage -VM $VirtualMachine -PublisherName 'MicrosoftWindowsServer' -Offer 'WindowsServer' -Skus '2022-datacenter-azure-edition-hotpatch' -Version latest
$VirtualMachine = Set-AzVMOSDisk -VM $VirtualMachine -Name "$ComputerName-OsDisk" -StorageAccountType "Standard_LRS" -DiskSizeInGB 128 -DeleteOption  "Delete"  -Caching ReadWrite -Windows -CreateOption "FromImage" 

$vm_data=New-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -Location $LocationName -VM $VirtualMachine

Hello Alberto Mijares (Tantius),

Welcome to the MS Q&A forum.

The details you provided are quite intriguing and captured my attention.

I tried to reproduce the issue on my side by deploying the "2022-datacenter-azure-edition-hotpatch" from the Azure Marketplace in the Azure Portal and from PowerShell by using the 'New-AzVM' command and on both got access to GUI when I connected for the first time.

Could you please confirm what you are seeing the same image parameters on both VMs in the Azure Portal?

You could find these parameters under the VM overview or by navigating to the "Export Template".

Did you deploy both VMs in the same region?

Sincerely,

Olga Os.
