Based on my research, there is no straight way to manage windows 2003 servers using Ansible and there are some github repos which share Ansible Core packages that use powershell 2.0 (windows 2003) but it is not complete.
I was wondering if any of you had a chance to tackle this in your careers and managed to do it. I am evaluating AWS SSM and MS SCCM to overcome this limitation.
The project I am working on is for a client who is running the company on Windows 2003. We are skeptical of upgrading the OS as the applications might break and they don’t have the binaries for most of the apps on the servers in order for us to test.
