Not able for find any information for windows on Ansible Module to create the iSCSI initiator.

Could you please provide a sample playbook to configure the ISCSI initiator on Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Edition.

I know this post is older but you can utilize the anisble.windows.win\_ps\_module, ansible.windows.win\_service, and ansible.windows.win\_dsc modules to build a role.

Example:

```auto
---
- name: Add the iSCSIdsc module
  community.windows.win_psmodule:
    name: iSCSIdsc
    state: present
    accept_license: true

- name: Start the iSCSI initiator on server
  ansible.windows.win_service:
    name: MSiSCSI
    start_mode: auto
    state: started

- name: Attach the disks to the server
  ansible.windows.win_dsc:
    resource_name: iSCSIInitiator
    ensure: present
    IsPersistent: true
    NodeAddress: "iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:{{ node_address }}"
    TargetPortalAddress: "{{ storage_server_fqdn }}"

```
