Support for managing Windows guests is now available on the 1.7 development branch

Hi everyone,

We’ve just pushed some code that you might like. Ansible support for managing Windows machines!

Read all about it here:

http://docs.ansible.com/intro_windows.html

Module discussion should happen on the development branch as we expand this out and take more module contributions for Windows (which we will try to fast track).

Usage/help questions should probably still go to the development list at this time as it’s pretty new, though that can change after we get 1.7 released.

This should be considered alpha level now - but very very usable - and will be considered beta when 1.7 comes out in a few months.

A huge thanks to friends at Rackspace for putting in a lot of work on the initial modules and docs, as well as Chris Church of Ansible for doing most of the tricky plumbing to get this off the ground!
