You said you're getting a connection refused, so check the firewall and winrm settings on the Windows machine.
There's an example script ( https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/examples/scripts/ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1) that takes care of WinRM making sure the box allows remote powershell exec, among other things. Likely you're missing a step preparing the Windows machine to accept remote winrm connections.
