When making a domain in ansible, ive been a playbook like this,

`

- hosts: domaincontrollers[0]  
tasks:

- name: make the domain  
win\_domain:  
dns\_domain\_name: foo.local  
safe\_mode\_password: A1!vagrant  
register: check\_domain

- name: Reboot to complete domain setup  
win\_reboot:  
test\_command: ‘exit (Get-Service -Name Netlogon).Status -ne “Running”’  
post\_reboot\_delay: 600  
when: check\_domain.changed

- name: Make a domain admin  
win\_domain\_user:  
name: dom  
upn: dom@foo.local  
password: A1!vagrant  
groups:

- Domain Admins

`

The example test command doesnt wait long enough and says the domain doesnt exist when i try to add a user. the console just says “applying settings” and it wont work till thats done. So what should i test for?
