Hi,

I’m currently experiencing a problem when executing the following playbook. Everything I’m currently executing is attached too. What should I modify?

Maybe you’ve wondered why I don’t just set everything to local. My playbook contains other tasks to pull facts from a Windows machine. That’s why I have the connection configured for winrm. Then I want to retrieve those facts into a .csv file created locally, which is what is failing.

Update:

I have used delegate\_to: localhost too, without success.

I added this to the playbook expecting to connect to my pc:

- name: change connection  
add\_host:  
hostname: name  
ansible\_user: myuser  
ansible\_password: mypassphrase  
ansible\_port: 22  
ansible\_connection: ssh  
changed\_when: true

Seems it doesn’t actually change the connection
