win_feature failing

[Justin Dugan]

I am trying to use win_feature on a Windows 2008 R2 Server and reviving the following error:

FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "Method invocation failed because [System.Management.Automation.PSCustomObject] doesn't contain a method named 'Remove'."}

The server is running PowerShell 3.0. I tried updating this to 4.0 because win_feature is working on a 2012 Server, but this didn't resolve the problem.

Thanks in advance!!

Here is the playbook entry:

- name: Install IIS Windows 2007

  win_feature:

    state: present

    include_management_tools: yes

Also, the error only happens on state=present. state=absent works fine.

Hi Justin, 

Just to confirm: Its working on server 2012 but not on 208R2 (regardless of PS version), is that right? I have to admit I use 2012R2 for testing, so there might be bugs like this slipping thru. Please confirm, and I'll try and have a look at this asap.

Yes, it's working in 2012,but not 2008r2.
