Hi Satish, basically follow this to integrate Ansible and Rundeck and then, you can use this windows inventory to connect to your windows boxes (you can see the step by step in both links).

Hi Satish, have you installed the ansible module for the rundeck user? It seems that you're facing this.

Make sure to have an ansible environment reachable by the rundeck user (this applies for ansible.cfg and inventory file too). Check this.

Greetings!
