Hallo Team, Referring the below closed topic # [VCenter appliance root password expiration set module name & playbook issue](http://forum.ansible.com/t/vcenter-appliance-root-password-expiration-set-module-name-playbook-issue/2942) I found that there is no module. Check my output here ```auto cd /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ansible_collections/community/vmware/plugins/modules ls -l vcenter_* -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 6433 Nov 8 2023 vcenter_domain_user_group_info.py -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 3397 Nov 8 2023 vcenter_extension_info.py -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 7219 Nov 8 2023 vcenter_extension.py -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 16819 Nov 8 2023 vcenter_folder.py -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 9710 Nov 8 2023 vcenter_license.py -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 32248 Nov 8 2023 vcenter_standard_key_provider.py ``` There is no file with name `vcenter_root_password_expiration` Looks like this file was left out somewhere. Reference playbook ```auto --- - name: Change vCenter Root Password expiry hosts: localhost gather_facts: false vars_files: - vcenter_vars.yaml tasks: - name: Change the vCenter password expiry community.vmware.vcenter_root_password_expiration: hostname: "{{ vc_name }}" username: "{{ vc_usr_name }}" password: "{{ vc_passwd }}" validate_certs: "{{ vc_vali_certs }}" max_days_between_password_change: 365 min_days_between_password_change: 3 warn_days_before_password_expiration: 7 email: ansible@zonkos.ict state: present delegate_to: localhost ``` ```auto └─[$] <> ansible-playbook playbook.yaml --check [WARNING]: Unable to parse /root/vc_passwd/inventory/vcenters.ini as an inventory source [WARNING]: No inventory was parsed, only implicit localhost is available [WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available. Note that the implicit localhost does not match 'all' ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action 'community.vmware.vcenter_root_password_expiration'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path. The error appears to be in '/root/vc_passwd/playbook.yaml': line 10, column 7, but may be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem. The offending line appears to be: tasks: - name: Change the vCenter password expiry ^ here You have new mail. ┌─[root@hatchery] - [~/vc_passwd] - [Wed May 15, 14:47] └─[$] <> ``` ---

Hi, `community.vmware.vcenter_root_password_expiration` was introduced `community.vmware` 3.10.0. > New in community.vmware 3.10.0 > [community.vmware.vcenter\_root\_password\_expiration module – root password expiration of vCSA — Ansible Community Documentation](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/vmware/vcenter_root_password_expiration_module.html) Ensure your installed version by `ansible-galaxy collection list | grep community.vmware` and consider upgrading the collection. ---
