ERROR: win_copy is not a legal parameter in an Ansible task or handler

[ken.k...@gmail.com]

ansible --version

ansible 2.0.0

  configured module search path = None

I receive this error when attempting to use wincopy.  

But I do see win_copy in modules

ls /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible/modules/core/windows/

That was a typo I am using win_copy

[Brian Coca]

soo, win_copy is not in ansible (yet) but you seem to have python
versions of the file (which is only for doc, actual file is .ps1)

Is it possible to get an early release. If not how do you copy files and templates to a windows machine?

[Brian Coca]

win_copy and win_template ARE in the works, currently only the common
code is in the repo, we hope to have the plugins soon.

OK moved them to my library path:

And got this

failed: [ntdvwqwebpcp02b] => {"failed": true, "parsed": false}

ConvertTo-Json : Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Extensions,

Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of

its dependencies. The paging file is too small for this operation to complete.

I also get this error if I disable the win_copy so MS Error.

Anyone else see this there is a hot fix

Another possible solution though I have failed to find a good one.

As a note if you are using 64 bit windows then the path might be windows.powershell32

Hi,

What version of Windows are you targeting?

Is it a fresh image?  Is it up to date with windows updates?

What version of Powershell is running on the windows host?

Can you run any Powershell directly on the windows machine (using the same user that you are connecting as)?

Is a win_copy (and win_file / win_template) plugin anticipated for the v2 launch?
