I would suggest use Linux as your control host. You mean you want Ansible to manage Windows OS configs ?

I want to install ansible inside a windows server.  Which will act as ansible master.

You cannot really do that. The only option would be to run it in something like WSL but even then there are caveats. You should be using a Linux host to run the Ansible control node.

I don't think they can run WSL in Windows 2012. They might be able to deploy cygwin and then use it and the cygwin ssh as a control master. Though the power shell and other items in it may also be too old for ansible's powershell configuration.
