Test-TargetResource SPFarm Resource fails to find local SharePoint Server

Details of the scenario you try and problem that is occurring: I am doing a complete setup of a lab environment for SharePoint, including the setup of Active Directory, SQL and SharePoint on one single vm. The configuration is done using Composite Resources and works fine - until the moment where the farm was already created and you rerun the configuration. As soon as DSC reaches the step

VERBOSE: [SHAREPOINTLAB]:[[SPFarm]CreateSPFarm::[LabSharePoint]SPSetup] Leaving BeginProcessing Method of Get-SPServer.

it fails with the error “The server named ‘SHAREPOINTLAB’ does not exist.” (The local server FQDN is SharePointLab.demo.local). The operational eventlog holds the following entry:

This event indicates that a non-terminating error was thrown when DSCEngine was executing Test-TargetResource on MSFT_SPFarm DSC resource. FullyQualifiedErrorId is Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPCmdletGetServer. Error Message is The server named ‘SHAREPOINTLAB’ does not exist…

When I just load the SharePoint PSSnapin myself and run Get-SPServer, I get the following result:

Address                        Role                           Status
-------                        ----                           ------
SharepointLab.demo.local       SingleServerFarm               Online

I am not sure what is wrong here, the only thing I can imagine is that SharepointLab != SharepointLab.demo.local ?

The DSC configuration that is using the resource:

SPFarm CreateSPFarm
{
    Ensure = "Present"
    DatabaseServer = "SharePointLab.demo.local"
    FarmConfigDatabaseName = "SP_Config"
    Passphrase = $FarmPassPhrase
    FarmAccount = $FarmAccount
    PsDscRunAsCredential = $InstallAccount
    AdminContentDatabaseName = "SP_AdminContent"			
    RunCentralAdmin = $true
    DependsOn = "[SPInstall]InstallSharePoint"

}
