Description

Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring

I'm using ansible with win_dsc module to create an user

  - name: Create user
    win_dsc:
      resource_name: SqlLogin
      Ensure: "{% if db_state == 'absent' %}Absent{% else %}Present{% endif %}"
      Name: "{{ db_user }}"
      LoginType: SqlLogin
      ServerName: "localhost"
      InstanceName: "MSSQLSERVER"
      LoginCredential_username: "{{ db_user }}"
      LoginCredential_password: "{{ db_password }}"
      LoginMustChangePassword: false
      LoginPasswordExpirationEnabled: false
      LoginPasswordPolicyEnforced: false
      Disabled: "{% if db_state == 'disabled' %}True{% else %}False{% endif %}"
    register: mssql_create_user
    when: install_psmodule_dbsrv is succeeded and mssql_service.state == 'running'

If user doesn't exist before, task runs successfully

But if user has exist and disabled, task failed with an error message: Failed to invoke DSC Test method: An internal error occurred.

Verbose logs showing the problem
TASK [create_user : MSSQL: Create user] **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [mssqlserver.com]: FAILED! => {
    "changed": false,
    "module_version": "14.2.1",
    "reboot_required": false
}

MSG:

Failed to invoke DSC Test method: An internal error occurred.
Suggested solution to the issue

I enabled this user then re-run ansible, task ran successfully
Maybe we need check if user has been disabled first

Research direction

Reproduce the failure through Ansible's win_dsc entry point using the SqlLogin resource with an existing disabled user. Inspect the SqlLogin DSC Test behavior and compare it with the successful create and enabled-user cases; done means an existing disabled login can be evaluated or converged without the internal-error message.
