No config file found; using defaults

Archives Ansible Project

Centos 7
Ansible 2.1
Windows 7 on remote node

My inventory file (/etc/ansible/hosts) contains
[windows]
ADS-6999 ansible_host=123.123.123.123

I have configured my windows.yml file as follows

ansible_user: Administrator
ansible_password: SecretPasswordGoesHere
ansible_port: 5985
ansible_connection: winrm
ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation: ignore



 But when I try to run win_ping I get this:




**$ansible windows -m win_ping -c winrm --verbose**

**No config file found; using defaults**


**ERROR! Syntax Error while loading YAML**



Any suggestions are appreciated.

*No config file found; using defaults*

AFAIK this means there is no ansible.cfg, which is not an error, just
an information

*ERROR! Syntax Error while loading YAML*

In your mail the yaml file had no line breaks, maybe there a windows
unix linebreak issue?
