The user profile directory is not possible to access without the user token for the `GetUserProfileDirectoryW`. Instead, we can iterate the users matching a particular filter (e.g. local users). This allows us to at least query some user home directory. Unfortunately, this would disallow querying of users from a domain controller. This resolves an immediate issue of SPM tests depending on the ability to query profile information for a user.
