Hi,

I'm having trouble with using ansible and opening an ssh connection at the same time. It seems that whenever the server communicates to a windows machine using winrm, ssh communication is blocked from the windows machine to the server (times out without any response). I don't have access to the network config, so this might be a network restriction, but was wondering if anyone ran into this before?

Just to note. Windows machine was windows 7, server was centos.

If you are getting an SSH timeout while trying to connect to the Windows box, means Ansible is not using the winrm connection plugin to connect. I'm not 100% sure of the issue you have so please share the playbook you are trying to run and the output with -vvv here.
