This script is working but the results are difficult to read in the email that is sent.

Ideally I would like the email to say something like:

The following  
Add: {{ member }} To: {{ group }} On: {{ ansible\_hostname }} **[has failed or was successful]**

The following are the current members of the group Administrators on {{ ansible\_hostname }}  
DOM\First\_Group  
DOM\Second\_Group

The data all seems to be in userData but I don’t know how to put some smarts to check it was successful and not sure how to list a clean list of the members of the group.

Create a template that formats it nicely and use:

body: '{{lookup("template", "pretty\_email.j2")}}'

You could try to do the same inline, but it ends up making the task  
hard to read and update.
