Hi Satish,

That error is different from your last thread, it seems an integrity problem in your operating system, check carefully if the rundeck user can reach the python 3 / pip tools. Probably a good approach is to test a fresh installation in a virtual machine following the guides provided in the last threads (this one for basic integration and this one for windows specific target nodes).

Digging around that, are you working with python virtual envs? If so, keep in mind this issue (marked as enhacement request)

Greetings.

I am not familiar with python virtual envs?. Please help me. how to resolve to control windows servers from rundeck

Note: I have tried with python3 also but same kind of error coming out.

Hi Satish,

I see you're trying to connect to Windows using the PyWinRM plugin (not via Ansible integration). In the PyPywinRM node executor, you can select the right Python interpreter in the PyWinRM executor (e.g: some Linux distros use the "python" to refer to the python3 interpreter), and based on that you can define the right pip3 modules using the "rundeck" user (Project Settings > Edit Configuration > Select "WinRM Node Executor Python" and then, you can define the interpreter in the "python interpreter" dropdown list). Check this comment, is the same issue.

Another point and very important is to configure your windows boxes to "receive" the WinRM protocol request, for that take a look at this.
