Hi,
I try to use examles for hostname change on windows machine, but it looks like the win_hostname is missing
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/win_hostname_module.html#win-hostname-module
Is this module deprecated or should I install it (and how)?
Thanks

For example ansible-doc gives error:
ansible-doc win_hostname
[WARNING]: module win_hostname not found in: /home/adminlocal/.ansible/plugins/modules:/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules:/usr/lib/python2.7/site-
packages/ansible/modules

And the ansible inself:
ansible -i inventory.yml -m win_hostname -a “hostname=MyNewComp” test
TEST2 | FAILED! => {
“msg”: “The module win_hostname was not found in configured module paths. Additionally, core modules are missing. If this is a checkout, run ‘git pull --rebase’ to correct this problem.”
