I am trying to create a service of type kernel on a remote windows 10 machine from a linux ansible controller machine. To create a service I'm using *sc create* *type=kernel binpath=c:\path * command.
Ansible playbook for creating a service: - hosts: windows tasks: - name: Create temp service raw: sc create temp type=kernel binpath=c:\path\ And I'm getting the following error: TASK [Create temp service on windows] **************************************** fatal: [10.x.x.x]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "rc": 1, "stderr": "#< CLIXML\r\n<Objs Version=\"1.1.0.1\" xmlns=\" http://schemas.microsoft.com/powershell/2004/04\ <http://schemas.microsoft.com/powershell/2004/04/>"><Obj S=\"progress\" RefId=\"0\"><TN RefId=\"0\"><T>System.Management.Automation.PSCustomObject</T><T>System.Object</T></TN><MS><I64 N=\"SourceId\">1</I64><PR N=\"Record\"><AV>Preparing modules for first use.</AV><AI>0</AI><Nil /><PI>-1</PI><PC>-1</PC><T>Completed</T><SR>-1</SR><SD> </SD></PR></MS></Obj><S S=\"Error\">Set-Content : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'type=kernel'._x000D__x000A_</S><S S=\"Error\">At line:1 char:1_x000D__x000A_</S><S S=\"Error\">+ sc create temp type=kernel binpath=c:\\windows\\ ..._x000D__x000A_</S><S S=\"Error\">+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~_x000D__x000A_</S><S S=\"Error\"> + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-Content], ParameterBindingException_x000D__x000A_</S><S S=\"Error\"> + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetContentCommand_x000D__x000A_</S><S S=\"Error\"> _x000D__x000A_</S></Objs>", "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []} What could be the exact reason? Or is there any other of creating a service on a windows machine? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
