As Jon said, first port of call is to read the windows documentation. When I started I also read the best practise guide here - http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_best_practices.html - This contains the recommended file structure of your ansible setup.
My group_vars is at the same level as the hosts file. So my hosts file is /etc/ansible/hosts and my groups_vars are all located in /etc/ansible/group_vars. In 1.9 my windows creds are setup like below (with ansible_ssh_) ansible_ssh_user: ansible_ssh_pass: ansible_ssh_port: 5986 ansible_connection: winrm # The following is necessary for Python 2.7.9+ when using default WinRM self-signed certificates: ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation: ignore Also I configure WinRM on the windows hosts for remote powershelling. In the windows guide there's a link to the ps1 script to run on your windows hosts to get you started - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/examples/scripts/ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1 On Wednesday, February 3, 2016 at 11:47:26 PM UTC, Kiran wrote: > > I wonder why it is trying to connect via SSH and not via the username and > password. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
