Ansible Windows 404 error

[Ollie Lawson]

Hi,

I'm trying to do a proof of concept install of the new windows functionality of anisble.

I have tried Windows Server 2012 and 2008 r2 but I get the following errors back:

WIN-3Q6QUQU2T6P.cs29cloud.internal | FAILED => Traceback (most recent call last):

What steps did you take to set up powershell remoting on the remote system?

Hi Ollie,

Have you seen the Windows guide?  Be sure to set the Windows machines to allow powershell remoting and make sure to open up the firewall.  See the below link for the guide.
