Hello everyone,

I’m trying to setup a windows host to accept Ansible commands using the steps below:

> $url = “[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ansible/ansible/devel/examples/scripts/ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1”](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ansible/ansible/devel/examples/scripts/ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1%E2%80%9D)
> 
> $file = “$env:temp\ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1”
> 
> (New-Object -TypeName System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile($url, $file)
> 
> powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File $file

But the URL link does not exist anymore. Has it changed?

I get this error:

> Exception calling “DownloadFile” with “2” argument(s): “The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.”  
> At line:1 char:1
> 
> - (New-Object -TypeName System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile($url, $file)
> - 
> 
> ```auto
> + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
> + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebException
> 
> ```

Thank you

Hello again.

I ended up manually downloading the script from here:

[[ansible-windows/files/ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1 at master · AlbanAndrieu/ansible-windows · GitHub](https://github.com/AlbanAndrieu/ansible-windows/blob/master/files/ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1)]

Thank you

That script had been moved to [ansible/ansible-documentation](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-documentation) repository. You can find that under the examples/scripts directory.

However, in the first place, today, **this script is not recommended**.

You should read the `README.md` on the same directory carefully before using that: [ansible-documentation/examples/scripts/README.md at devel · ansible/ansible-documentation · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-documentation/blob/devel/examples/scripts/README.md)

Kurokodo,

Thank you for your reply. I will have a look at the README file.

All the best.
