It appears that the only way to copy or move files on remote Windows
Servers requires the use of
the raw module (or uploading your own PS script). However, I can't get even
a basic move to work.
- name: Configure the Windows Server 2012 R2 instance
hosts: ec2hosts
vars:
workdirectory: 'C:\mystuff'
- name: move config file
raw: move /y {{ workdirectory }}\config\junk.conf {{ workdirectory }}\
config\smtp.conf
When this executes, I get this response:
TASK [move config file] **********************************************
task path: /Users/me/build_win.yml:99
<52.xx.xx.xx> ESTABLISH WINRM CONNECTION FOR USER: Administrator on PORT
5986 TO 52.xx.xx.xx

Note that if I go to the Windows Server and paste in the command:
move /y C:\mystuff\config\junk.conf C:\mystuff\config\smtp.conf
..it works fine.
The PS error message above:
Move-Item : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument
_x000D__x000A_
..seems to be saying there is a problem with a cr/lf ?
I'm stumped....
