Hello there,

I'm trying to configure a bunch of Windows machines through Ansible and installed pywinrm correctly but Ansible is throwing an error message.

Command: ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts playbooks/common.yml -vvv

Error Message:

It sounds like you have the variable 'ansible_winrm_transport' defined to an empty string.

Thanks

Thank you, Jordan! Yep, it was empty instead of basic. My bad.
