Incorrect diff output for multiple-choice options

For some reason, whenever microsoft.ad.group does a change (e.g. changing the group members), it also reports the scope to be changed like this:

-scope: 1
+scope: global

This seems to be a general problem with options that have a limited number of choices.

Same thing happens with category:

-category: 1
+category: security

Thanks for the bug report, the diff output generator is quite rudimentary as the data returned is the raw LDAP attribute value rather than the translated value the AD cmdlets may have added on top. We can certainly look into trying to improve situations like this but keep in mind there are probably other attributes where a similar problem occurs.
