Is anyone using win\_update for their windows servers on vmware to patch them Or working for them? For the life of me, I can’t make them install available updates. I’m just curious how others are handling it if at all. FYI I am running 6.5 VMware and ansible 2.4 version because 2.6 broke my playbook with the snapshots. Any recommendations or ideas are welcome. Thanks

Can you share your playbook?  
I have definitely had this running in the past.
