Hi team,

I’m just tryining ansible 2.8 over ssh on windows hosts type but it seems not yet work:
[WARNING]: No python interpreters found for host 192.168.1.146 (tried [‘/usr/bin/python’, ‘python3.7’, ‘python3.6’, ‘python3.5’,

}

This is the statement :
ansible winservers -i win_inventory -m ping

This is my inventory win_inventory:
#ansible_connection=ssh

Set either cmd or powershell not both

#ansible_shell_type=cmd
#ansible_shell_type=powershell

[winservers]
192.168.1.146
[winservers:vars]
ansible_ssh_user=administrator
ansible_ssh_private_key_file=/opt/REPO-KEYS/sleandro-key-repo/KEY/sleandro.pub
ansible_shell_type=cmd
ansible_connection=ssh

I installed the sshd for windows via chocolatey

The version of sshd is OpenSSH_for_Windows_7.9p1, LibreSSL 2.6.5

What’s wrong? or i 'm missing something ?

Thank you ,

Stefano

Hi Same issue here, did you find a workaround?
