Hi All,

I need your assistance to resolve this issue.

Error details when I run in -vvv option:

Using module file /opt/ansible/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible/modules/windows/win_feature.py

Ok, Got through that hurdle now next!

Please find below update file

- name: install features on new Azure Windows Server

hosts: windows

gather_facts: no

tasks:

- name: wait for connection to be online

wait_for_connection:

- name: Install IIS (Web-Server and Web-Common-Http)

win_feature:

name:

- Web-Server

- Web-Common-Http

state: present

- name: Install IIS Web-Server with sub features and management tools

win_feature:

state: present

include_sub_features: True

include_management_tools: True

register: feature_install

- name: reboot if installing Web-Server feature requires it

win_reboot:

when: win_feature.reboot_required

Now, when I run through Azure cloud shell, it gives me error as below:

When I login to Azure cloud shell to execute it keeps in complaining that

[WARNING]: Could not match supplied host pattern, ignoring: windows

PLAY [install features on new Azure Windows Server] ************************************************************************************************************************

skipping: no hosts matched

PLAY RECAP *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************

localhost : ok=9 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0

Unfortunately there is no directory like /etc/ansible/host so how to inject configuration on newly created Azure VM?

Kind Regards,

Look at the add_host module to add freshly created hosts to your inventory
