win_ping issue

[skinnedknuckles]

I'm having trouble getting win_ping to work.  Here is my info:
Fedora 20
Ansible 1.7.1
Remote node running windows 7
The WinRM script by Trond runs without errors on the remote node
Control and Remote Machines are both on Lan with common domain w/o firewalls
So far as I can tell I've installed everything on control and remote machine as described in documentation

My inventory file contains
[ads800s]
ADS-6999 ansible_ssh_host=123.123.123.123

My windows.yml file is in the group_vars directory and contains
ansible_ssh_user: ansmgr
ansible_ssh_pass: ansiblepw
ansible_ssh_port: 5986
ansible_connection: winrm

Can you tell what I'm doing wrong?  Do you need any more information?

Here is the debugging output of my win_ping command (with -c winrm is below)

[ansmgr@LinuxControlMachine ansible]$ ansible ADS-6999 -m win_ping -vvvv

It seems as though your group_vars is not being picked up.  Is your inventory file and your group_vars directory located in the same place?

By default this is where ansible looks, so both should be in the same directory.

Both the inventory file (hosts) and the group_vars folder are in /etc/ansible

[J Hawkesworth]

Try not setting the ansible_ssh_host in your inventory - I think this might be forcing it to attempt ssh transport, which of course isn't going to work for windows hosts.

In other words, change

[ads800s]
ADS-6999 ansible_ssh_host=123.123.123.123

to

ads800s]
ADS-6999

and ensure ADS-6999 can either be resolved by your local dns or as an entry in /etc/hosts

[Michael DeHaan]

ansible_ssh_host does not imply the transport.

Let's ask the starter question, "what's the output of ansible --version" ?

Sorry for the confusion, I was replying to the incorrect assertion above and missed the scrollback.

Please make sure you file a ticket for this one as tracebacks in Ansible are definitely bugs, though it sounds like you need to either use --ask-pass or set ansible_ssh_pass -- though the variable name is named "ssh" it's not limited to being used just for SSH.

Is line 51 intended to be uncommented?

If I comment out line 51 I get this output.

It looks like it's still trying to use ssh instead of winrm, which indicates your group vars still aren't being used.  Based on your inventory from the messages below, your host doesn't appear to be listed in a "windows" group, so it won't use group_vars/windows.yml.

Try adding the following lines to your inventory to include your host in a windows group:

[windows]

There must be a problem with my encryption because when I run this line in powershell it works.

winrm set winrm/config/service '@{AllowUnencrypted="true"}'

[Bluesky]

hello，Skinnedknuckles

I ask you how the final solution to the problem? I also encountered this Error, hope you can get your help, thank you very much!
