to Ansible Project

Centos 7

Ansible 2.1

Windows 7 on remote node

My inventory file (/etc/ansible/hosts) contains
[windows]
ADS-6999 ansible_host=123.123.123.123

I have configured my windows.yml file as follows

ansible_user: Administrator
ansible_password: SecretPasswordGoesHere
ansible_port: 5985
ansible_connection: winrm
ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation: ignore

 But when I try to run win_ping I get this:

$ansible windows -m win_ping -c winrm --verbose

No config file found; using defaults

ERROR! Syntax Error while loading YAML

Any suggestions are appreciated.

AFAIK this means there is no ansible.cfg, which is not an error, just
an information

In your mail the yaml file had no line breaks, maybe there a windows
unix linebreak issue?
