Description
When I try to run the tests on Windows on my work machine, I get this error:
--- FAIL: TestGroupIds (0.00s)
user_test.go:144: &{Uid:[...] Gid:[...] Username:NORTHAMERICA\dagood Name:Davis Goodin HomeDir:C:\Users\dagood}.GroupIds(): The user name could not be found.
FAIL
FAIL os/user 1.819s
Someone else hit this in 2018, and it ended up seeming to be a configuration issue on their machine. Another machine also using AAD worked: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/26041. It doesn't look like they were able to figure out the underlying issue.

Research direction
Start with the failing TestGroupIds case at user_test.go:144 in the os/user package and compare the Windows Azure AD environment described here with issue #26041. Run the test on an AzureAdJoined, non-domain-joined Windows machine and inspect the dsregcmd /status output. Done means identifying a reproducible cause and a verified resolution or documenting why the failure is configuration-specific.
