Hi Stavros,
Thanks for the reply, i came to a similar conclusion which i am working on
at the moment. I am deploying via a VMware customization spec and need to
wait for it to complete so i am going to use the powershell Listen-Port
module and fire that up on a RunOnce. Then ill use
Paul, I did resolve it by using the following workaround:
First of all I searched for a Windows Service in the target host that was
not used (it was in the manual status) and in case it would be started,
then it should use a certain port for listening. With Ansible:
- I scheduled a Windows job
We've got a win_wait_for module on the roadmap for 2.4. Meantime, a
win_shell task with a one-liner while loop using Test-Path and Start-Sleep
should do the trick.

Hmm wait_for is a python module.
waiting for the port will work fine as that will presumably be happening on
the ansible controller, rather than remotely on the machine you are trying
to access.
If only waiting for a file will do then you could try using the fetch
module to pull the file back
