Hi,

I am a newbie to ansible

I have followed every steps on http://docs.ansible.com/intro_windows.html to config an ansible workstation which can operate on Windows.

Below is what I got

[root@ansible-test-1 ~]# ansible windows -i ~/hosts -m win_ping --ask-vault-pass -vvvv
Vault password:
<15.126.222.251> ESTABLISH WINRM CONNECTION FOR USER: Administrator on PORT 5986 TO 15.126.222.251

err_msg = str(exc.args[0])
IndexError: tuple index out of range

Any advices?
