Ansible Playbook for Windows Patching

[Jitendra Ingale]

Folks,

I am using below pasted playbook for windows server patching which has variable file defined along with.

It is supposed to take KB number mentioned in variable file and install it on server, followed by server reboot.

Problem is that, the said playbook is getting executed without any issue and also rebooting the server however its not installing mentioned KB patches on server as expected.

Please suggest.
