ansible_windows_domain_role' is undefined

Describe the Issue

When I run the role, I receive the following message:

`TASK [Windows-2019-CIS : Include the preliminary tasks] *** included: /home/azureuser/github/projekt_AnsibleLernen/azurelab/roles/Windows-2019-CIS/tasks/prelim.yml for apc000060002

TASK [Windows-2019-CIS : Set fact is system is standalone] **** fatal: [apc000060002]: FAILED! => msg: |- The conditional check 'ansible_windows_domain_role == 'Stand-alone server'' failed. The error was: error while evaluating conditional (ansible_windows_domain_role == 'Stand-alone server'): 'ansible_windows_domain_role' is undefined

The error appears to be in '/home/azureuser/github/projekt_AnsibleLernen/azurelab/roles/Windows-2019-CIS/tasks/prelim.yml': line 5, column 9, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

  block:
      - name: Set fact is system is standalone
        ^ here`

The offending line appears to be:

  block:
      - name: Set fact is system is standalone
        ^ here`

Expected Behavior The task should process correctly for a domain joined machine

Actual Behavior A clear and concise description of what's happening.

Possible Solution Enter a suggested fix here

can be fixed, the playbook must contain:

gather_facts: true

hi @dimi4ik

Thank you for the feedback, i believe gather_facts: true is the default value. So should be run unless explicitly turned to false or defaults overridden in the loaded ansible.cfg

I will however leave this issue open to ensure we add that to the playbook, in the next release.

Thank you again for the feedback

Will be added to the upcoming release in the playbook. I have assigned this to myself to add in my next release.

Complete and merged to devel.
