Reg: Service check and stop during windows update.

[harshc...@gmail.com]

Hello All,

I am doing windows server patching for some of the windows servers on my environment.

Now i have a requirement in which i have to check a service if it exists and stop it before installing update/patch.

can someone please help me on this such that playbook should first check for the service, stop it and then go for windows patching.

Script i am using now for windows patch update:

- name: Windows Update 

  hosts: all 

  gather_facts: false 

  tasks: 

     - name: Running Windows Update 

       win_updates: 

           category_names: ['SecurityUpdates','CriticalUpdates','UpdateRollups', 'Updates', 'DefinitionUpdates'] 

           reboot: yes

Thanks in advance
