ansible_host + proxy + windows servers (WinRM) not working

[Mike Klebolt]

Hello,

We're using ansible on some windows servers.  The ansible_host is configured with a proxy and is preventing us from connecting to the windows hosts.  My current workaround involves manually exporting no_proxy with the windows  server IPs.  While this gets us connected, I still feel like there should be a better way to go about this.  I tried creating a localaction that would add the no_proxy entry to ~/.bashrc and reload bash, but it looks like ansible uses the same env that it initially started with.  I was wondering if there was a way for ansible to set up a local environment (not remote) during a playbook run that would setup no_proxy on its own. 

Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

I was a little fast there, I now see you wrote local environment.

I was able to resolve this issue by modifying one of the lines in transport.py for pywinrm.

        session.trust_env = True

changed to:

        session.trust_env = False
