(https://groups.google.com/g/ansible-project/c/YZzYNEevzro) Where Matt suggests: That it [the module] is meant to be used with a Windows machine / over WinRM: Matt Davis unread, Oct 21, 2016, 1:24:06 PM to Ansible Project Some aspects of Ansible's Powershell support are currently built under the assumption that it would only ever run on Windows / over WinRM. There are a few things that would need to be moved around in order to allow "real" Ansible Powershell modules to work on Linux. By "real", I mean so that the module generation stuff works correctly whether the WinRM connection plugin runs it or something else, and that you can use our Powershell module API. So maybe that's my issue... ie not meant to run against Azure... On Tuesday, March 14, 2023 at 3:28:04 PM UTC-4 Shawn Singh wrote: I'm trying to use Powershell from Ansible.
