Hi,

I had a ini file which will install sql server on windows. Can i know how can I run that ini file inside the playbook to apply to windows host.

1. I just want to know how does the playbook looks like

2.) My ini file is parameterized, so how can I pass the values.

I normally template the ini and then run the install as a command line module.
