module win_user

[e.bar...@404-group.com]

Hi.

We have a vm ubuntu 14.04 LTS with ansible 1.9.3 and python 2.7.

I want to create users on a machine with windows.

Using module winrm on windows and win_user module for creating profile. (Testing in o.s.: windows 7, windows 8/8.1)

My playbook:

---

- name: Add a user

  hosts: all

  tasks:

   - name: Add user in system

        win_user:

        name: test

        password: "password"

        groups: ["users"]

        state: present

run playbook:

ansible-playbook -vvvv -i hosts playbooks/users.yml

result:

changed: [192.168.1.171] => {"account_disabled": false, "account_locked": false, "changed": true, "description": "", "fullname": "test", "groups": [{"name": "users", "path": "WinNT://WORKGROUP/mycomp/users"}], "name": "test", "password_expired": false, "password_never_expires": true, "path": "WinNT://WORKGROUP/mycomp/test", "sid": "S-1-5-21-2925825274-3949947971-3441621627-1016", "state": "present", "user_cannot_change_password": false}

```

In windows system user is created, and I see this in: managing computer >  users. But in logon window user does not appear.

Why ? Help me please

I don't understand the question. Can you log on with the created user by typing in the username?

IIRC, this has something to do with not being placed in any groups by default, specifically the one needed to show up on the login screen.  I don't remember what it is, but logins should still be allowed.

I can't seem to reproduce with either 1.9.3 or devel against a Windows 2008 Server instance.  Adding a user to the Users or Administrators group is enough for it to show up in my case.
