Hi,

I am working on automation using ansible where in I need to connect to remote window server and install NT service . Please help me for the correct playbook as I have installed Winrm on window and connectivity is working from Linux -Ansible control server to window.

ansible]$ ansible all -i inventory.yml -m win\_ping  
172.31.82.137 | SUCCESS =\> {  
“changed”: false,  
“ping”: “pong”  
}

I need playbook for window service install.

Thanks,  
Manish

I have tried below playbook but getting error :

ansible-playbook window.yml -i inventory.yml  
ERROR! the field ‘hosts’ is required but was not set

Playbook contents:

- name: test raw module  
hosts: windows----------------\> I think here is the problem . I tried with ip but same error as i don’t have domain name available in my personal account .  
tasks:
- name: run ipconfig  
win\_command: ipconfig  
register: ipconfig
- debug: var=ipconfig

Playbook looks ok, maybe something with spacing?
