Hi Folks,
I’m quite new with Ansible.
I’m projecting a new one automation platform with that in a mixed large enterprise enviroment.
Sadly i found that Ansible not still supporting Windows OS over SSH.
so, I’m asking how 's going with this feature ?
I cannot use WinRM in very large enterprise enviroment due to some lacks of security requirements…
Someone have some status ?
Thank you ,
Stefano Leandro
Not sure what you mean by WinRMs lack of security requirements, if you use RDP in your org then WinRM is no worse than that. In saying that, SSH support for Windows has been added for 2.8 with https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/47732. It’s experimental and the interface can change in the future but it would be enough to get you started.
Hi team,
I’m just tryining ansible 2.8 over ssh on windows hosts type but it seems not yet work:

This is the statement :
ansible winservers -i win_inventory -m ping
This is my inventory win_inventory:
#ansible_connection=ssh
#ansible_shell_type=cmd
#ansible_shell_type=powershell
[winservers]
192.168.1.146
[winservers:vars]
ansible_ssh_user=administrator
ansible_ssh_private_key_file=/opt/REPO-KEYS/sleandro-key-repo/KEY/sleandro.pub
ansible_shell_type=cmd
ansible_connection=ssh
I installed the sshd for windows via chocolatey
The version of sshd is OpenSSH_for_Windows_7.9p1, LibreSSL 2.6.5
What’s wrong? or i 'm missing something ?
Thank you ,
Stefano
These question are better suited towards the Ansible Project mailing list at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ansible-project. Ansible Development is for development questions inside Ansible, such as modules, plugins and so on and not general help.
Using ssh does not mean you can start using Python modules like ping, you still need to use the Windows equivalent modules which are written in PowerShell (win_ping).
Hi ,
thank you for your time .
It was my fault .
It works :
[root@ORKy ansible]# ansible winservers -i win_invetory -m win_ping
192.168.1.146 | SUCCESS => {
“changed”: false,
“ping”: “pong”
}
[root@ORKy ansible]#
Cheers ,
Stefano
