Can you ping it from the command line?

I meant running the ping command, no ansible involved, from the
command line, as in

ping win2016.box.somewhere.out.there

If you can't ping using, well, ping don't blame ansible.

I have one major doubt 

Ansible_user:

Ansible_password:

What does these two commands represent?.

Do they represent windows credentials or the user credentials from which you want to ping windows machine.

He meant whatever WIndows user you want ansible to use to login
to this win2016 box.

Hii all,

well

thanks for your help. resolved!!

As previously someone communicated, before try to ping windows vm from ansible needs to check whether it is pinging from other windows or linux machine by using ping ip command.
