The differentiation between accounts seems not very idempotent

[MaKaNu]

SUMMARY

The module win_user_profile differentiates between already deleted and still existent accounts. This causes issues if the user never existed.

As an example, the user "user1" never existed on one system. If I run the module with name and state: absent I get the following error:

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: bei <ScriptBlock>, <Keine Datei>: Zeile 100
failed: [one_system] (item=user1) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": false, "item": "user1", "msg": "Unhandled exception while executing module: Die Eigenschaft ProfileImagePath ist im Pfad HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\ProfileList\\S-1-5-21-1677214107-1252868271-91609288-4038 nicht vorhanden."}

If I run with username and state: absent the output depends on the state of the account. Either the account still exists, but the profile is already deleted, then the status is OK if the user still exists and the profile also the status is CHANGED. If the user never existed the status is FAILED with following result:

failed: [one_system] (item=user1) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": false, "item": "user1", "msg": "argument for username is of type System.String and we were unable to convert to sid: Manche oder alle Identitätsverweise konnten nicht übersetzt werden."}

Maybe I just overshoot my approach since I want to delete the accounts completely and running win_user and win_user_profile with status: absent is kind of redundant, but I think this module should always run with OK if the user and the user profile is absent and with CHANGED if the user is absent but the profile is not.
