I have a playbook that fetches all the files in a directory on a windows server to a Linux server. There are currently 575 files but a new one gets added every 12 hours…

This worked perfectly during testing but when I run it from Ansible Tower it always gets to file 498 and then all the rest of the files received a checksum error.

I originally suspected winrm quotas so I tested from two other servers and those also worked perfectly. The problem only seems to assert itself when I run it from Ansible Tower.

Any hints, tips, or suggestions are welcomed.

I also tried “validate\_checksum: no” and “ignore\_errors: yes” with no change.

I’m currently running in debug mode to see if I can learn more.

Thanks in advance from:
