Is there any plans to build an Ansible MSI to allow for easier configuration of Ansible controlled Windows boxes?

There are no plans to do this, the ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1 script does what we need so far and is only meant to be used for development purposes. When running in a production environment you should have your own process that fulfils your requirements both on a technical and security side. This can include running one of your own scripts in the imaging process or using GPO to manage the WinRM service.

Is there something you feel is missing that would warrant an MSI?

Thanks
