Hi Jon,
Thanks for your input.
User(Service account) is now having access to the machine that's hosting
the shared drive. WINRM has been enabled to the target server with CREDSSP
authentication. connection has been updated from local to a group.
However now the pipeline is failing while connecting to the target server
and it's giving below error-
*TASK [Gathering
Facts]*********************************************************
*fatal: [ test1234p ]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "credssp:
The server did not response with a CredSSP token, auth rejected",
"unreachable": true}*
I have validated below points so far-
1. Service account is working fine and connecting to the target server when
tried manually.
2. WINRM is up and running fine and they have remote access. Below commands
have been executed to validate this-
Winrm get winrm/config/service
* winrm quickconfig*
*3. Validated the listener and it looks good too. Below commands were use
to verify this-*
winrm e winrm*/*config*/*Listener
4. The server is listening to port 5986 for HTTPS (i am using https ).
5. PS-Remoting has been enabled for port 5986.
6. It has been verified that powershell4.0 is running on destination server.
Target server is 2008 server.
Could you please let me know what else can i validate now? Do i need to
validate something for Ansible setup as well? Not sure if something needs
to be validated on server as well?
Note- I have build a pipeline for IIS servers(which is 2012 R2 server) and
using the same concept but it's working fine. The only difference is the
service account.
Regards,
Benktesh Kumar
