Just FYI, it's also possible to run Ansible without any install on a Windows host. Send commands through WinRM (pywinrm as Python implemention) en send files over SMB to administrative shares. Just make sure you only allow the ansible host on it through the firewall. The only downside is the WinRM authentication. This passes by in flat text so is a security flaw. Same for the SMB authentication, since on an ansible-playbook -v you can clearly read your user/pwd information. But on the upside, it is possible to do so.
