All, After lots of testing, I can only report that I have results all over the place.
- I ran the playbook against a group containing two servers. The first one reported: "updates_installed_count": 11, "updates_reboot_needed": true, "updates_success": "true", but no updates were applied. The second one rebooted during the run of the play and, subsequently, the play failed due to a timeout. When I then logged into the machine, and did any task, it rebooted by itself. After coming back up, I noted that sometimes all of the updates had been applied, and sometimes most, but not all, had been applied. - On machines that are fully updated and rebooted and checked for updates again [none found], I run the playbook, and get back the following results: "updates_installed_count": 0, *"updates_reboot_needed": true*, "updates_success": "true". Why do I get an *"updates_reboot_needed": true*? There's no need. - If I run "Get-WUInstall -Acceptall -IgnoreReboot -Verbose" in Powershell, all updates are applied correctly, and was prompted to reboot. So, it appears that something about running Get-WUInstall remotely doesn't seem to work properly. Trond, I apologize, but I'm not sure what the logPath parameter is. Do you mean setting log_path in ansible.cfg? Otherwise, I'm not sure what the parameter is or how to use it (couldn't find any documentation).
