Hello, I’m having issues with Ansible connecting to WIndows Hosts with OpenSHH. Receiving the following Error: Data could not be sent to remote host “10…10.10.10”. Make sure this host can be reached over ssh: OpenSSH\_7.4p1, OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips 26 Jan 2017 Authentication and connection are ok. I am able to SSH perfectly fine from the ansible host, but i get the following with ssh debug: packet\_write\_wait: Connection to 10.10.10.10 port 22: Broken pipe debug3: mux\_client\_read\_packet: read header failed: Broken pipe debug2: Control master terminated unexpectedly unreachable: true **Full Debug:** Data could not be sent to remote host “10.10.10.10”.
