Cannot copy a file from S3 to a windows node. WinRM send_input failed error.

[yyella...@gmail.com]

Hello Team,

I just started using Ansible and am having trouble in getting it to work with AWS S3. Could you please have a look at the output and help me understand what I did wrong?

I did a lot of research on the error but am failing to get a complete picture of the problem.

To lay the context: I have an ec2 2008R2 instance in a private subnet which uses a NAT gateway to download stuff. I have created the Ansible Control Machine in a different account and am able to ping and get system report of the windows instances through VPC Peering.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you :) 

Best,

Yash.

You can't run non PowerShell modules on a Windows host. You would have to set delegate_to: localhost on the task to download it to the Ansible controller then use win_copy to copy it across.

Thanks
