I thought the win_* stuff was merged into 1.9?

I’m probably just doing something wrong.

  • name: Copy PinnedApplications.ps1 to module path
    win_copy: src=PinnedApplications.ps1 dest=“C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules”

$ ansible-playbook --ask-pass -i windows-testing windows-workstations.yml

I’m having the same issue. Any luck?

3

some "win stuff" was, win_copy was not part of that stuff.

So the posts where I saw people using action scripts (as part of win_copy?), that is outside the normal git development tree? I’d need to merge in the PR that is listed in those posts?

OK, so that is not even really ansible code?
I also saw some stuff about using winexe as a possible custom written module. Might consider that until win_copy is out.
