    Description

      If you change an existing user's password on Windows, puppet reports:

      Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/User[testing6]/password: created password
      

      If the desired password doesn't match current password, the windows_adsi provider's #password method returns :absent, to force the provider to apply the new password. But this causes puppet to think the property was "created".

      It would be preferrable to say that the passwords were changed.

      See https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/commit/51b33d1f/lib/puppet/provider/user/windows_adsi.rb#diff-cb6db5b98229b4ec070f9158795e3708R61
