Hi Folks.,

I’m trying to run playbooks on win2016 after enabling enable-credssp on remote machine and other prerequisite and mentioned ansible\_winrm\_transport as credssp

but now I’m facing this error from ansible

“msg”: “credssp: Received error status from the server: (3221225819) UNKOWN\_STATUS 0xc000015b”,

The error you have is 0xc000015b which according to [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/auditing/event-4625](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/auditing/event-4625) means it does not have the necessary rights to log on. WinRM requires the SeNetworkLogonRight [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/security-policy-settings/access-this-computer-from-the-network](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/security-policy-settings/access-this-computer-from-the-network).

Make sure the account has that right or is in a group that has that right. Also check that it has not been explicitly denied this logon right with the deny right.

Thanks

Jordan

Sounds like there is a local user with that username as well but glad you have it working.
