Discussing [CLI "choco install rsat" works win\_chocolatey install rsat fails · Issue #39384 · ansible/ansible · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/39384), was told

- The error indicates it is trying to install an msu (windows update) which doesn’t work over native WinRM
- You need to use become on the win\_chocolatey task to bypass the WinRM restriction, e.g.  
Which led me to [Windows become fails for passwordless users · Issue #34214 · ansible/ansible · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/34214) which talks about blank passwords

Change my playbooks to look like this

become: yes

LocalSystem as the user does not work either.

Hey

The syntax I gave you is only for Ansible 2.5+ (you cannot become System on older versions) so if you are on an older version then this will fail. There are ways to get become to work for older versions of Ansible but they either require UAC to be disabled or the SeTcbPrivilege set to the ansible\_user account. You can find more details here [http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user\_guide/become.html#administrative-rights](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/become.html#administrative-rights) but I highly recommend you upgrade to 2.5 to get it all working.

Unfortunately there is no way without become to install any .msu files in win\_chocolatey so this is really your only option apart from manually running the choco command with something like psexec.

Thanks

Jordan

As a side note, you don’t have to do any of that registry changes for the System account, that is only for local or domain accounts that do not have a password, the builtin principals work as per normal without specifying the password.

I think I see why it is failing, as mentioned in [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user\_guide/become.html#directives](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/become.html#directives)

> These can be set from play to task level, but are overridden by connection variables as they can be host specific.

This means directives like become, become\_user, become\_method work but if ansble\_become, ansible\_become\_user, ansible\_become\_method are set as a host var then they will override the task directive.

What is happening here is that you would have **ansible\_become\_user** set somewhere in your inventory/host vars and that is overriding the task directive become\_user: SYSTEM. This is now apparent to me as it is failing to run LogonUser which is a codepath that does not happen when using the System account, so another account is being passed in.

To test it out, you can write the task like this

```auto

- win_shell: cmd.exe /c whoami && whoami /groups && whoami /priv
  vars:
    ansible_become: yes
    ansible_become_method: runas
    ansible_become_user: SYSTEM

```

By settings the var explicitly on the task, you are overriding whatever may be set in your host vars.

Thanks

Yep, looks like we should update the docs to be correct, you can just do **- win\_shell: whoami** to test it out.

No idea on that, looks like an issue in the install script for the rsat package. You can try to just become an existing user and not SYSTEM account like so

- win\_chocolatey:  
name: rsat  
state: present  
vars:  
ansible\_become: yes  
ansible\_become\_method; runas  
ansible\_become\_user: ‘{{ ansible\_user }}’  
ansible\_become\_pass: ‘{{ ansible\_password }}’

I don’t have a Windows 10 box to test out but both this and becoming the System account worked fine on a Server 2016 machine for me.

Thanks

Jordan

Yep looking at the comments on the chocolatey package, Windows 10 seems to be broken [https://chocolatey.org/packages/RSAT](https://chocolatey.org/packages/RSAT), you need to specify the version to get working but this is an issue outside of Ansible and win\_chocolatey
