Research direction
Start by reproducing Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate on Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2022 using the reported OS builds, then trace where the E_ACCESSDENIED exception originates. Compare the behavior and required permissions across both systems; done means the cmdlet completes successfully on the affected server versions.
