Looks like you just need to add your server into a group called windows - the example here shows the group http://docs.ansible.com/intro_windows.html#inventory
So your inventory file needs to look like this: [windows] WIN-F6531IBP8HG The group vars will then take effect for your host and ansible will know to connect via winrm instead of ssh, which it is trying at the moment (which isn't going to work as Windows doesn't understand SSH).
