Okay this is fixed. I've discovered that the values assigned to the
variables in ansible\group_vars\windows.yml namely "ansible_ssh_user" and
"ansible_ssh_pass" must:
1. Exactly match an account on the windows machine with admin privileges
(account must exist but need NOT be current active login)
2. If you are using SSL and the value of
winrm/config/service/AllowUnencrypted is true (this is the default) the
values in ansible\group_vars\windows.yml must exactly match the username
and password that was submitted to generate the SSL web certificate.
In my case I also had to append the computer name with the port number in
the inventory like this
[windows]
ComputerName:5986
(or 5985 for AllowUnedcrypted="true" type this command in powershell PS
C:\winrm set winrm/config/service '@{AllowUnencrypted="true"}'
done.
