I Installed Anisble Server on Windows by enabling WSL (Windows system for Linux ) having Ubuntu Client  
Now I have Jenkins Installed on the same Windows machine but when i try to run simple ansible command i am seeing the below Error .  
My question is that the jenkins server also has to be installed from Ubuntu Client on windows.
