I’m simply wanting to create a playbook that will shutdown a windows computer. I’ve got my ansible server talking to my windows and can ping it, but my playbook gives the below error when trying to run. Any ideas?

I am interest in this as well
A few issues
- The output indicates you didn’t supply the command args for shutdown.exe correctly. If the +1 is meant to say shutdown after 1 second the correct syntax is to use /t 1 - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/shutdown
- You need to run the task with async: 60 and poll: 0 so Ansible doesn’t fail when trying to get the output back from the remote host.
