Ansible skip  depending on output in a loop

Can someone please assist,   i am trying to create dhcp scope only if it does not exists, below is what i have tried:


  - name: Get scopes
    ansible.windows.win_shell: Get-DhcpServerv4Scope  -ScopeId  {{ item.ScopeId }}
    changed_when: false
    register: dhcp
    with_items: "{{ dhcp_scope}}"

vars dhcp_scope:

  "EndRange": "172.30.0.254",
  "LeaseDuration": "10:00:00",
  "ScopeId": "172.30.0.0",
  "StartRange": "172.30.0.1",
  "SubnetMask": "255.255.255.0",
  "name": "Office B"

dhcp register

                    "",

This is working, it is skipping the rc=0

  - name: "Evaluate the scopes
    debug:
    when: "item.rc == 1"
    with_items:  "{{  dhcp}}"
    loop: "{{ dhcp.results }}"


but trying to apply it to create the scopes

  - name: Create DHCP scopes
    win_shell: |
        Add-DhcpServerv4Scope -Name "{{ item.name }}" -StartRange "{{ item.StartRange}}" -EndRange "{{ item.EndRange}}" -SubnetMask "{{ item.SubnetMask}}"
    with_items: "{{ dhcp_scope}}"
    changed_when: false
    when: "item.rc == 1"
    loop: "{{ dhcp.results }}"

It is failing, due to the fact that is not getting the ScopeId, which is normal as the loop is going through the dhcp.results and not with_items: "{{ dhcp_scope}}" , how to make it so that it can skip the output that is rc=0 and only when item.rc == 1 ?

TASK [Create DHCP scopes] ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************** fatal: []: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'dict object' has no attribute 'ScopeId'\n\nThe error appears to be in '/etc/ansible/dhcp_check.yml': line 57, column 5, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\n - name: Create DHCP scopes\n ^ here\n"}

if i change it to:

  - name: Create DHCP scopes
    with_items: "{{ dhcp}}"
    changed_when: false
    when: "item.rc == 1"
    loop: "{{ dhcp.results }}"
ASK [Create DHCP scopes] ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************

FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'dict object' has no attribute 'ScopeId'\n\nThe error appears to be in '/etc/ansible/dhcp_check.yml': line 57, column 5, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\n - name: Create DHCP scopes\n ^ here\n"}.

How to make - name: Create DHCP scopes so that it can skip creating the scopes if rc=0 and only when item.rc == 1 ? similar with the debug which skips the scopes that exist?

i cant loop over dhcp_scope it will throw an error: error FAILED! => {"msg": "The conditional check 'item.rc == 1' failed. The error was: error while evaluating conditional (item.rc == 1).

What i am trying to achieve is run command on the remote host, if the dhcp scope exist i will skip creating it and only creates the one that do not exists.
