A few things - Each task is run in a completely separate shell from each other, running net use in a previous task won’t have any affect on any subsequent tasks - Don’t try to use mapped drives with Ansible, or really any other non-interactive purpose - name: Install MSI win\_package: path: \xxxx\tttt\ppp\Application.msi state: present become: yes become\_method: runas become\_flags: logon\_type=new\_credentials logon\_flags=netcredentials\_only vars: ansible\_become\_user: domain\user ansible\_become\_pass: pass We cover more about become and WIndows at [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user\_guide/become.html#become-and-windows](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/become.html#become-and-windows) but what that task basically does is to run your installer using the connection user but any outbound network attempts will use those credentials, just like net use would do.
