AADGroup: identification of existing groups is not working properly

[bartvermeersch]

Description of the issue

Since the last update (?) the detection of existing AADGroups (and other resources?) is not working correctly anymore resulting in the creation of duplicate AADGroups.

It seems that Get-TargetResource returns Ensure = Absent could this be the reason for this bug?

From logging:
2024-03-01T07:53:10.8344536Z Ensure=Absent

Microsoft 365 DSC Version

1.24.228.1

Which workloads are affected

Azure Active Directory

The DSC configuration

AADGroup "AADGroup_ServiceAccounts"
        {
            DisplayName        = "ServiceAccounts"
            Description        = "ServiceAccounts"
            MailNickName       = "ServiceAccounts"
            IsAssignableToRole = $false
            MailEnabled        = $false
            SecurityEnabled    = $true
            TenantId           = $TenantId
            ApplicationId      = $ApplicationId
            CertificateThumbprint = $Thumbprint
            Ensure             = "Present"
        }

I am currently using the 1.24.313.1 version and this issue is still present. All my group has been duplicate.
