      Previously when Windows local groups contained members that were at one point valid domain members but have since been deleted (creating unresolvable SIDs), Puppet would produce warnings or errors when managing such groups. Puppet can now safely handle unresolvable SIDs inside of groups.

    Description

      After leaving a Domain Windows systems may still contain not resolvable domain accounts inside local groups, i.e. in Administrators group:

      When trying to manage this group using auth_membership => true (to ensure all not resolvable domain user accounts are tidied to only have the local user Administrator inside the local Administrators group), Puppet will fail:

      group {'Administrators': 
          members => ['Administrator'], 
          auth_membership => true 
      }
      

      Tested with the following Puppet Apply command:

      puppet apply -e "group {'Administrators': members => ['Administrator'], auth_membership => true }
      

      Error: Could not resolve name: S-1-5-21-776561741-1409082233-725345543-15784
      Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Group[Administrators]/members: change from TEST-WIN2012\Administrator,S-1-5-21-776561741-1409082233-725345543-15784 to TEST-WIN2012\Administrator failed: Could not resolve name: S-1-5-21-776561741-1409082233-725345543-15784
