I am automating the deployment of Skype for Business Server 2019 front end servers on a Server 2022 OS on prem. When using the commands below to run step one of the deployment wizard, the Skype services fail to start, each with an error of "Check to make the the service is not disabled. Failure to start could also be because this front end was previously failed over". There is only a single standard edition server in it's own pool and this has been replicated on different systems. Manually running step one allows the services to start successfully. Any ideas why?

Do you mean this issue only happened when using Automated PowerShell script, right?
Yes, it only happens when using the code instead of running step 1.
Yes, using the above code to in essence complete step one of the deployment wizard causes the issue, but can't work out why.
