Thanks for the reply. This is for machines on the network that are NOT joined to the domain yet, so they do not have a DNS entry. I took the approach of running a win_shell task against the dhcp server and then using in-memory inventory with add_host to further configure the hosts. I think a better approach might be to use custom inventory script to query the windows dhcp server instead of using in-memory invenotry. Anybody have experience writing custom inventory script querying a windows box?
