Debug Output

ad_group.g: Creating...
╷
│ Error: Provider produced inconsistent result after apply
│
│ When applying changes to ad_group.g, provider "provider["registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/ad"]" produced an unexpected new value: Root resource was present, but now
│ absent.
│
│ This is a bug in the provider, which should be reported in the provider's own issue tracker.

Panic Output

Expected Behavior

What should have happened?
AD group creation process should have been graceful and reflected in the state
Next time when we run again, it does not see any changes, it wont touch the resource.
If there are changes, it goes and update the resource.
If we remove the resource "ad_group" block, it should be able to delete the resource.
This is what expected with terraform.

Actual Behavior

What actually happened?
AD group created and not tracked in the state.
ad_group.g: Creating...

Hi @nhemchandra and all, I have to use provider for Windows AD for adding users to AD group hosted by Production grade AD server. while the documentation says the current provider is still in experimental phase and has to mature to be implemented in production and to have support.

Are there any workarounds for the same using Terraform for user addition to AD groups or AD group creation.
