All,

I'm a newbie who's trying to get Ansible to work on a Windows Server 
client. I followed instructions found here: 
http://docs.ansible.com/intro_windows.html, and both the Linux-based 
Ansible control server and Windows client seem to be set up properly.  I 
originally ran this example playbook (from 
http://docs.ansible.com/win_feature_module.html):

# Playbook example
---
- name: Install IIS
  hosts: all
  gather_facts: false
  tasks:
    - name: Install IIS
      win_feature:
        name: "Web-Server"
        state: absent
        restart: yes
        include_sub_features: yes
        include_management_tools: yes

Interestingly, it appeared to *uninstall* IIS. I'm guessing it's because of the 
line "state: absent" (but I'm a newbie, so what do I know).  So, then I decided 
to change "absent" to "present", and started to get this error:

Vault password:
sawintest01 | FAILED >> {
    "failed": true,
    "msg": "A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 
'IncludeManagementTools'."
}

OK, so I removed the line "IncludeManagementTools".  Now, every time I run 
the playbook, I get the same error.  And, if I create a new playbook to 
install, say SNMP, the same error is still generated, despite the fact that 
the line "IncludeManagementTools" isn't in the playbook (or any playbooks, 
at this point).  Huh?  Why does Ansible keep whining about a parameter that 
I'm not even including?  What am I doing wrong here?

Help would be most gratefully appreciated.

Dimitri
