In my company i have a set of CentOS, MAC and Windows machines, i want to use Ansible mainly to deploy packages and scripts (bash, powershell).
I've been trying to make it work for my windows machines, i have used the powershell scripts from ansible.com to enable winrm.

But when i test the connection to my windows host i get this error:

TASK: [Run powershell script] *************************************************
fatal: [192.168.0.37] => 500 WinRMTransport. [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:581)
FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting

Do you know how to solve this ?

I have installed ansible with pip on a debian machine.
i had to create the files in /etc/ansible
maybe i've  forgot something ?

tree /etc/ansible/

│   └── run-powershell.yml
├── roles

It looks like you're running into this issue: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/10294

I'm guessing you are running Python 2.7.9+.  The current workaround is using a callback plugin to disable SSL verification; we'll hopefully have a better fix by v2.

Yes i am running python 2.7.9+ , i did create a folder callback_plugin with fix.ssl in my playbooks directory but i have the same error:



3[root@Debian]:ansible-playbook /etc/ansible/playbooks/run-powershell.yml

PLAY [Run powershell script] **************************************************

TASK: [Run powershell script] *************************************************
fatal: [192.168.0.37] => 500 WinRMTransport. [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:581)

FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting

PLAY RECAP ********************************************************************
           to retry, use: --limit @/root/run-powershell.retry

192.168.0.37               : ok=0    changed=0    unreachable=1    failed=0 



my directory:


/etc/ansible/

├── ansible.cfg
├── group_vars
│   └── windows.yml
├── handlers
│   └── httpd.yml
├── hosts
├── info.txt
├── playbooks
│   ├── callback-plugins
│   │   └── fix-ssl.py
│   ├── examples
│   ├── run-bash.yml
│   └── run-powershell.yml
├── roles
└── test.py

i should see a fix-ssl.pyc in the callbacks-pluins directory if it's load ?

I did not change anything /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible.

Try callback_plugins (with an underscore) instead of callback-plugins.

oops thanks it's now working with 'ansible-playbook ...', but not with 'ansible...' i tried with

env ANSIBLE_LOAD_CALLBACK_PLUGINS=1 ansible windows -m win_ping
or
ANSIBLE_LOAD_CALLBACK_PLUGINS=1 ansible windows -m win_ping

and i still get the error
192.168.0.37 | FAILED => 500 WinRMTransport. [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:581)

I was also wondering, is there an help command to see all the modules avaible ? because i currently check on
the website.

ansible-doc -l => lists all modules in your ansible installation

I think you may need to change this setting in your ansible.cfg file to get the callback to take effect when using ansible
