Please clarify a couple questions:
1. You're running the ansible command from a Linux (RedHat, Ubuntu, CentOS,
Debian) system, correct?
2. The playbook you're using has these tasks:
- name: Copy script from local to remote server
win_copy:
src: files
dest: C:\
register: myfile
- debug: var=myfile
- win_command: powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File
C:/userdata-winsetup.ps1
3. The directory where your playbook and inventory file reside also have a
directory called "files".
4. Your inventory file has this section:
[windows]
127.0.0.1
Based on your inventory file, you're attempting to run the commands in the
playbook on the system you're running Ansible on. Your inventory file
probably needs the _windows_ server listed in the "[windows]" section like
this:
[windows]
MyWinSys01.example.com
Then when you run your playbook with Ansible, it will connect using the
"winrm" protocol and login with "admin" (password: "admin"), then copy the
files from ".\files\" to "c:\" on the remote system.
Once you've validated all that, please re-run the playbook with "-v" (or
more for additional verbose output) and post it here.
Thanks,
DanL
