The powershell shell family is incompatible with the sudo become plugin

[Wafi sh]

Using AWX 13.0.0 (Ansible 2.9.10)

The playbook:

-------------------------------------

- hosts: all

  name: DNS Fix Windows

  gather_facts: no

  tasks:

    - name: Check datacenter

      win_shell: |

          CODE-BLOCK

      register: datacenter

-----------------------------------

AWX error:

{

    "msg": "The powershell shell family is incompatible with the sudo become plugin",

    "_ansible_no_log": false

}

This is working on Ansible 2.9.0 without AWX.

This indicates you are running the playbook with become, or the inventory specifies the hosts use become.  However, you have not configured the become_method for those Windows hosts to use `runas` instead of the default `sudo`.

Thank Matt,

I have tried to add "become_method: winrm" to the group variable but the template still shows become_method: sudo when running it.

Here is the inventory group variables i'm using for the group "win_test_nce" in inventory "win-test":

ansible_connection: winrm

ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation: ignore

become_method: runas

The playbook output is with verbosity:

PLAYBOOK: dns-fix-win.yml ******************************************************

Positional arguments: dns-fix-win.yml

verbosity: 4

ask_pass: True

remote_user: ccitops.admin

connection: smart

timeout: 10

become: True

become_method: sudo

tags: ('all',)

inventory: ('/tmp/awx_74_qrt3a82d/tmp3pzi6c98',)

subset: win_test_nce

extra_vars: ('@/tmp/awx_74_qrt3a82d/env/extravars',)

ask_vault_pass: True

forks: 5

1 plays in dns-fix-win.yml

That verbose output you see, is telling you how `ansible-playbook` was invoked from the command line.  It does not reflect inventory variables.

Thanks again Matt, i'm hitting a wall here, any suggestions? 

When running it from the Ansible (command line) it works perfectly, but in AWX it seems to be stuck on using sudo as become method!

I'd consult the IRC channel or mailing list for AWX and seek help there. This mailing list is for ansible proper, so you may not find too much in depth AWX knowledge here.
