So I saw this example on github to configure remoting for ansible machines
(https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/windows/psexec_module.html),
and try to make it work, but errors out:
ERROR! playbook entries must be either valid plays or 'import_playbook'
statements
My playbook is called multiple.yml and running it as:
ansible-playbook -i hosts playbooks/multiple.yml
- name: Download and run ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1 to setup WinRM
community.windows.psexec:
hostname: servername
connection_username: '{{ ansible_user }}'
connection_password: '{{ ansible_password }}'
encrypt: yes
executable: powershell.exe
arguments: '-'
stdin: |
$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"
$sec_protocols = [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor
[Net.SecurityProtocolType]::SystemDefault
$sec_protocols = $sec_protocols -bor [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = $sec_protocols
$url =
"https://github.com/ansible/ansible/raw/devel/examples/scripts/ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1";
Invoke-Expression ((New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString($url))
exit
delegate_to: localhost
What does this do and where is this defined:
hostname: '{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname]["ansible_host"] | default(
inventory_hostname) }}'
My servername for the hostname is my server name, in my previous example,
but trying to under the github example and what is trying to do.
We have 500+ machines on different domains, that we need ansible to connect
to, and we are just using winrm currently to deploy new machines, which
isnt an issue.
Issue is only connecting to servers, that werent built using ansible, hence
need to run the configureremoting PS script to make them ansible ready to
connect to.
Thanks
