Automated Windows Server Patching with MECM & Ansible Automation Platform

There is a new content collection for Windows MECM. This can be found on Automation hub: Hybrid Cloud Console

Aubrey Trotter put together this great walkthrough demo on YouTube here:

Installing the Collection from Ansible Galaxy

Before using this collection, you need to install it with the Ansible Galaxy command-line tool:

ansible-galaxy collection install ansible.microsoft.mecm

You can also include it in a requirements.yml file and install it with ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml, using the format:

--- 
collections: 
  - name: ansible.microsoft.mecm

Note that if you install the collection from Ansible Galaxy, it will not be upgraded automatically when you upgrade the ansible package. To upgrade the collection to the latest available version, run the following command:

ansible-galaxy collection install ansible.microsoft.mecm --upgrade
