New to Ansbile and trying to do a POC and learn at the same time. I’m using centos for my ansbile server and using the local admin account on windows when running my remote tasks. I’m able to run a bunch of tasks like remotely installing MSIs and joining a domain and installing some features. The first time I attempt to copy a file I get the below error. (I used the -vvv option to get some more verbose output). What is weird is if I immediately run my playbook again it works and completes the rest of the tasks without issue. I don’t understand how this could be as this step is way after the domain join. Currently I join the domain, reboot, add some roles reboot, and add some features all before this step. I’m also not sure if the step that is failing is the win_copy or the script. Either way it runs the second time. Any help would be appreciated.
Steps in config
- name: Setup IIS/Certificate
win_copy:
src: files/certs/mycert_2020.pfx
dest: C:\scripts\ - script: files/certs/install_cert.bat
args:
creates: c:\scripts\certinstalled.txt
