how to connect to windows machine from Linux using ansible?

Hello Guy’s ,

Hope you are doing well !!
In this video I will show you , How we can connect Windows and Linux machine through Ansible and Winrm. Please watch complete video.

Please find below commands for Linux:
sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install python3
sudo alternatives –set python /usr/bin/python3
python –version
sudo dnf install python3-virtualenv
virtualenv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install ansible
ansible –version
ansible localhost -m ping
sudo su
sudo mkdir /etc/ansible
cd /etc/ansible
sudo touch hosts
sudo vi hosts
exit
pip install “pywinrm=0.2.2”
ansible windowsserver -m win_ping

Ansible inventory file sample:
[windows]
172.31.16.245
[windows:vars]
ansible_connection = winrm
ansible_user = ‘your_windows_machine_username’
ansible_password = “your_windows_machine_password”
ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation = ignore
ansible_winrm_transport = basic
ansible_port = 5985

For Https make sure your port will be 5986

Please find below Windows PowerShell Commands:
$url = “https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ansible/ansible/devel/examples/scripts/ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1”
$file = “$env:tempConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1”
(New-Object -TypeName System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile($url, $file)
powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File $file
Set-Item -Force WSMan:localhostClientAllowunencrypted $True
Set-Item -Force WSMan:localhostServiceAllowunencrypted $True
Set-Item -Force WSMan:localhostServiceauthBasic $True

Note: Make sure run PowerShell as Administration.

If you facing any issue let me know in comments.

Thanks.
