Hello Angel,Dick,

Below is my playbook:

***********************************************************************************

---
- hosts: all
  gather_facts: False
  roles:
    - pagefile
- name: STOP_Services_CMS
  hosts: cmsserver
  gather_facts: False
  tasks:
    - name: Get services for Datasevices
      win_shell: 'Get-Service | Where {($_.DisplayName -like "*Apache*") -OR ($_.DisplayName -like "*Server Intell*")} | Select-Object Name, DisplayName | ConvertTo-Json'
      register: nandhu
    - name: Stop services of Dataservices
      win_service:
        name: "{{ item.Name }}"
        state: stopped
      with_items: "{{ nandhu.stdout }}"
- name: STOP_Services_JS
  hosts: jobserver
  gather_facts: False
  tasks:
    - name: Stop services in Job servers
      win_service:
        name: DI_JOBSERVICE
        state: stopped
      register: service_status
    - debug:
        var: service_status.state
- name: reboot the servers
  hosts: cmsserver
  gather_facts: False
  tasks:
    - name: reboot the CMS_servers
      win_reboot:
      when: service_status.state == 'stopped'
      register: reboot_CMS
- name: reboot the_Jobservers
  hosts: jobserver
  gather_facts: False
  tasks:
    - name: Reboot the Jobs servers
      win_reboot:
      register: reboot_Jobserver

***********************************************************************************************

in First step ,i am trying to find the pagefile szie in windows servers and changing the page file size as well.

that is what the role "pagefile" does.

Once the role is completed, services needs to be stopped in all servers in sequence.

first in CMS server group and then job_server group.

Reboot has to be done,only the registered value is equal to "stopped"

Here is the problem comes.

 I am getting the registered variable as expected. however, reboot is not happening and failing with undefined register varaible error

Please help me to get the issue resolved

Thanks,

Nandhakumar

As I see, you're trying to use variables from one host or group of hosts (cmsserver) from another different group (jobserver). Those variables have a name in common but they're still different; you can't use reference them as if they were the same.

But I believe this post might help you:

Hope that helps
