Hi,

I have to parse variable in static PowerShell script which will copy through win\_copy module on target machine.  
Means when file copy on target machine after running playbook it should have values of those variable.

I’ve keep variable in default like:  
user\_name: \*\*\*\*\*\*  
password: \*\*\*\*\*\*

and tasks/main.yml file:

Hello Rahul,

Why don't you use the template module instead of win\_copy?
