I have a shared Windows drive where a few files are kept.
I have ansible running on Linux which need to connect to the Windows server and download those files.
As per the organization policy WINRM is not allowed and the suggestion of using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to connect from Linux ansible to Windows was given.
I'm not aware nor did I find any document despite searching on google for the steps to connect from Ansible(Linux) to remote Windows server using WMI.
Once connected I will try to manage to download the files. However, i need help with the connectivity part.
Can you please guide me with the steps or any alternate if possible.

Ansible needs winrm. Can't use wmi

Look into using SSH or (yuck) PSRP
