Looks like you have lost some backslashes somehow instead of
set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:SystemCurrentControlSetControlTerminal Server'-name "fDenyTSConnections" -Value 0 try set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server'-name "fDenyTSConnections" -Value 0 Or, if you are running ansible 2.0, try using the win_regedit module http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/win_regedit_module.html Something like (not tested): win_regedit: key: 'HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server' value: fDenyTSConnections data: 0 datatype: dword Hope this helps, Jon On Monday, 8 February 2016 15:23:01 UTC, Mark Matthews wrote: > > Hi > > I am trying to run a simple playbook to run a Powershell script.
