    Sound like it would be better to use a Slimmed down version of Microsoft-Windows-EditionSpecific-EnterpriseS-Package to make an edition switch package, because edition switch is needed to update Server 20348.xxx as Client will not update.

    @Skylined

    Wihich version of Microsoft-Windows-EditionSpecific-EnterpriseS-Package did you use to add IoTEnterpriseS to 20348.681.amd64.fe_release_IoT_Enterprise_ltsc_en-US_2.iso ?

    For 25398.1, Microsoft.SecHealthUI_8wekyb3d8bbwe removes itself after oobe.
    I can open it during oobe by shift+f10->explorer->shell:appsfolder, but it removes itself after finishing the oobe.
    How to solve it?
    I'm using 1000.25398.1.0 version

    Tested 25398.1551 Enterprise update integration with custom servicing stack
    upload_2025-4-24_20-14-46.png
    For 25398.1, /resetbase doesn't delete outdated ondemand packages.
    Q: How to cleanup 25398.xxxx correctly?

    There are Windows Server build 25398.1.iso\sources\install.wim\1\Windows\servicing\
    FodMetadata
    InboxFodMetadataCache

    Q: I can't find Microsoft-Windows-FodMetadata-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.25398.1 package in the image. Why?

    [Note]
    Despite aforementioned, the /Resetbase issue happened to official 25398.1 Server too.
    Code:
    C:\windows\system32>dism /english /image:K: /Cleanup-Image /startcomponentcleanup /resetbase
    
    Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
    Version: 10.0.19041.844
    
    Image Version: 10.0.25398.1551
    
    [=====                      10.0%                          ]
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    [==========================100.0%==========================]
    The operation completed successfully.
    
    C:\windows\system32>
    
    But it works normally on 25379.1 Server.
    Code:
    C:\windows\system32>dism /english /image:K: /Cleanup-Image /startcomponentcleanup /resetbase
    
    Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
    Version: 10.0.19041.844
    
    Image Version: 10.0.25379.1
    
    [==========================100.0%==========================]
    The operation completed successfully.
    
    C:\windows\system32>
    
    Dead end to 25398.1?

    Thank you for this old question. Otherwise I wouldn't have this new finding.

    I think it'd be better to use "Client License and Key" only. Because with "full Client Barebone System without Client language pack", same outcome.

    Slimmed-Down? Yes, the most the best, to Server itself.

    Q: Which Client License is the best, EnterpriseS or ServerRdsh?
    A: Long in short: ServerRdsh, the only Client and Server 2-in-1.

    I haven't checked, but couldn't it be the same reason as in the case of 26100.1? I think it may require a baseline update to make a successful resetbase. But it's just my guess, not sure it could be the solution or not.

    will official .681 update work with 20348.1 pro?

    It will not work with 20348.1 Pro, as it is not defined in update.mum (no Client editions are in fact defined there). Your only bet is to install both Client and Server packages at once, update as Server, and then go back to Client.

    can you make custom .681 like you did with .3453?
