Hey Here are some brief notes - Your host inventory defined ansible_connection twice, once as ansible_connection=local and the other as ansible_connection=winrm. Use local if you want to run things on the Ansible controller and use winrm when you want to run something on the WIndo

There is a conflict between a system package and pip trying to install another package which in Pip 10 it doesn't handle properly. You can do either of the following - Use a virtualenv and run Ansible from there https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49916736/how-to-properly-handle-conflict

There seems to a problem in the formatting of your hosts inventory file. I would recommend reading through http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/intro_inventory.html . -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group. To unsubscrib

Update: Further I went ahead and created a hosts file in my "ansible-virtualenv" and passed the path in the global ansible.cfg file. Ran the following command in virtualenv and now I have following issue *ansible win -i hosts -m win_ping* [WARNING]: * Failed to parse /root/ansible-virtualenvs/

When using an ini inventory you have to define cars like key=value not key: value. Change all your vars to that format and the inventory will be parsable. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group. To unsubscribe from this group and sto

http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/windows_winrm.html . What does the entry in the hosts inventory look like? kerberos is generally used when you are using a domain account and need second hop capabilities. The example below uses NTLM which is older but does also work quite well.

[ansible-project] Re: Ansible windows patch trouble: Need help for Win Patch Automation using Ansible

Some success here. As per Mike suggested I made changed the vars. Hosts vars as below: [win:vars] ansible_user: ansible.dep...@abc.lcl ansible_password: xxx ansible_connection=winrm ansible_winrm_transport: ntlm ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation: ignore *Output:* vabcs012.aritst.lcl |

To revise what I am trying is: I am working in an environment where there are 5 domains that run Windows and Linux systems. The network operators spend weeks and months patching these windows and linux system an it is a pain. I want to automate this patching task. Refering Ansible for Windows do

[ansible-project] Re: Ansible windows patch trouble: Need help for Win Patch Automation using Ansible

Ok that makes it clearer. I also work with multiple Windows domains, with a single CentOS control node. For your use case ntlm would work as Kerberos adds extra config and also has its own issues. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" g

I know I had enabled winrm on the machine 206, thats the reason it pinged back. I know winrm service is running on other machines but I believe i will have to change execution policy and run the ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1 on each of them to enable it to listen for remoting. Is there a way I

Re: [ansible-project] Re: Ansible windows patch trouble: Need help for Win Patch Automation using Ansible

I have installed and created Virtualenv. Installed pywinrm and this time with no errors. I will get back over this to report how things worked ahead later. I feel blessed reaching out here! On Thu, May 24, 2018 at 3:20 PM Jordan Borean wrote: > There is a conflict between a system package and p
