Hi ,

I am trying to run the ansible playbook in the windows target. I am not sure which way to approach for that. Can anyone please help me with that ?

- should I go for ssh based run(with openssh enabled in windows) ?

- should I enable winrm listener and connection with that ?

- Should I automate using powershell or install cygwin console?

Thanks,

Saranya.
