Hello everyone! I am fairly new to Ansible. I was wondering if anyone has tried using ansible and secureCrt together. I have to upgrade a couple of network devices. I need SecureCrt (and a script) to prep the host for ansible(ip, domain-name, password, ssh). After that I would like anisble to do the rest of the heavy lifting. Does anyone in the forum have an example of a playbook that will call SecureCrt on the localhost. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for your help in advance

Hi @shaan and welcome to Ansible! This seems like it should be in the [Get Help - Ansible](http://forum.ansible.com/c/help/6) category so I’m going to move it over there for better visibility.
