mux_client_request_session error

I am getting this error when I run win_ping: task. Any idea why?

OpenSSH_6.6.1, OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 19: Applying options for * debug1: auto-mux: Trying existing master debug1: mux_client_request_session: master session id: 2 Shared connection

Thanks,

Hi Priscilla, it looks like you’re trying to use the ssh connection method for a Windows host, however Windows systems require the “winrm” connection type.

Can you share your full playbook/inventory setup (if they’re not too big)? The connection type should be automatically switched to winrm when Ansible sees you’re using a Windows-based module.
