Trying to add variable while running ad-hoc command against window server

[Kumar Guhan]

 I am trying to just run a win_ping command with a windows server through the UI, while trying to specify in the "Extra Variables" text area the ansible_user, ansible_connection and ansible_port variables I get the message " ansible_user, ansible_connection, ansible_port are prohibited from use in ad hoc commands".

Any idea where this needs to be specified otherwise, it thinks the server is linux and tries SSH by default.


Thanks,
Kumar

Allowing those variables to be changed presents a security problem when considering the tower security model and how the adhoc feature is used in conjunction with inventory. 

You can modify those variables on the associated inventory, groups, or hosts.
