Actually I'm trying to connect to a Windows machine so I can't use ssh. In that case are the contents of my windows.yml file correct for connecting to a windows machine. I've tried using port 5986 and 5985 (using a cert and ssl) but neither works.
windows.yml file contains... ansible_ssh_user: ansmgr ansivle_ssh_pass: ansible123 ansible_ssh_port: 5986 ansible_connection: winrm Also someone told me that the user and password in the windows.yml file must match the username and password of the active account (logged in) on the windows machine. Is this correct? I was also told that the active account must be a local account not a domain account. Is this correct?
