Failed to build image from latest 2019-Datacenter-Core

[Trojan295]

What happened:

I'm trying to build an image for AKS from the image SKU 2019-Datacenter-Core. It fails for image version 17763.6414.241004 or later with the following error:

    azure-arm: Start-Service : Service 'OpenSSH SSH Server (sshd)' cannot be started due to the following error: Cannot start service
    azure-arm: sshd on computer '.'.
    azure-arm: At C:\Windows\Temp\script-6745f9f6-4784-99a2-8a03-0793c3a69f24.ps1:400 char:5
    azure-arm: +     Start-Service sshd
    azure-arm: +     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    azure-arm:     + CategoryInfo          : OpenError: (System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController:ServiceController) [Start-Service],
    azure-arm:    ServiceCommandException
    azure-arm:     + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotStartService,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StartServiceCommand

The last working image version is 17763.6293.240905.

What you expected to happen:

Image build completes successfully.

How to reproduce it:

Build an image with the following source image:

    "windows_image_sku": "2019-Datacenter-Core",
    "windows_image_version": "17763.6532.241101",
    "windows_image_publisher":"MicrosoftWindowsServer",
    "windows_image_offer":"WindowsServer",

Anything else we need to know?:

I found this thread, where people reported, that there is some permission problem on the ssh logs directory.
https://serverfault.com/questions/1166382/openssh-ssh-server-wont-start-on-windows-server-2019-after-windows-updates

In my case the logs directory does not exist, by the time, when Start-Service sshd is executed.

Environment:

• Kubernetes version (use kubectl version):
