Thanks Tom. That’s what I ended up doing. Unfortunately, I had to run the ansible playbook once for each server. I really wanted to run the playbook in one shot against all servers. I could have just created a for loop using ssh to do it, but I really wanted to see if I could get it to work with Ansible.
