How to connect the Window Server using Ansible?

 Description: Here I have explained, How to connect the Windows Server using Ansible?

Setup:

  1. Ansible Machine [172.31.27.195]
  2. Windows Server 2019 [172.31.17.192]
Create windows user for Ansible 
  • Open Computer Management on Your Windows System and go to local User and Groups
  • Right Click and Create New User fill all required details and select password never expire

  • Add user in Administrator group
  • Install WinRM in windows server using PowerShell script save file as winrm.ps1

    
#Requires -Version 3.0

# Configure a Windows host for remote management with Ansible
# -----------------------------------------------------------
#
# This script checks the current WinRM (PS Remoting) configuration and makes
# the necessary changes to allow Ansible to connect, authenticate and
# execute PowerShell commands.
#
# All events are logged to the Windows EventLog, useful for unattended runs.
#
# Use option -Verbose in order to see the verbose output messages.
#
# Use option -CertValidityDays to specify how long this certificate is valid
# starting from today. So you would specify -CertValidityDays 3650 to get
# a 10-year valid certificate.
#
# Use option -ForceNewSSLCert if the system has been SysPreped and a new
# SSL Certificate must be forced on the WinRM Listener when re-running this
# script. This is necessary when a new SID and CN name is created.
#
# Use option -EnableCredSSP to enable CredSSP as an authentication option.
#
# Use option -DisableBasicAuth to disable basic authentication.
#
# Use option -SkipNetworkProfileCheck to skip the network profile check.
# Without specifying this the script will only run if the device's interfaces
# are in DOMAIN or PRIVATE zones.  Provide this switch if you want to enable
# WinRM on a device with an interface in PUBLIC zone.
#
# Use option -SubjectName to specify the CN name of the certificate. This
# defaults to the system's hostname and generally should not be specified.

  • Run winrm.ps1 and you will get the output as follow 




Install WinRM in Ansible machine 
  • WinRM stands for Windows Remote Management. It allows you to perform management tasks  on remote systems using below command
# pip install pywinrm




Add Windows Machine in Ansible Host file 

  • Add windows machine in ansible host file as follow and save it
# vi /etc/ansible/hosts

[win]
172.31.17.192

[win:vars]
ansible_user=Ansible
ansible_password=P@ssw0rd123
ansible_connection=winrm
ansible_port=5986
ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation=ignore
  • Test windows machine using below command 
# ansible -m win_ping win
