Hello guys,

I work on Ansible playbook for automatic deployment of LogicMonitor Collector on Windows machine but unfortunately i’m stucked by WinRMOperation TimeoutError. I’ve configured Windows machine like is said in documentation by script and any other templates which i tried works well, but here I do not know what next should I try. When I’ve tried it on Linux machine everything works well but I have to deploy on Windows machine cause of another application which I need there. Playbook, Trace and Group\_vars are down bellow. I appreciate every help.

**PLAYBOOK:**

You can’t run Python modules on Windows, it is trying to run a basic wrapper and sending the Python module as input through stdin but that fails as the wrapper is not expecting that.

Thanks

Aha, should I able to solve it by installing Python on Windows ?

Unfortunately no, even with Python installed it still won’t work right now on Windows. The WinRM/powershell plugin combo is a bit too hard coded and doesn’t support different module types apart from pure binary ones.

Thanks
