Hello developers,

I have recently started to use ansible and I am very impressed with its simplicity and ease of doing things. Thank you for making a great software!

I am managing both windows and unix boxes and want to know if in the new iterations, the setup module is being updated so more information about a windows box can be gathered. I would like to use the inbuilt modules as much as possible and less of my own scripts hence this question.

Thanks,  
Aseem

A number of items have been added for 2.2 to bring feature parity with \*nix setup (see [https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/blob/devel/windows/setup.ps1](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/blob/devel/windows/setup.ps1)), but what kinds of things are you wanting to see that aren’t there?

I just updated to version 2.1. The information returned for unix systems is quite a lot and I was thinking if similar data will be returned for windows systems as well.

As of now I am missing the disk and partition information for windows hosts.
