Hello, I use Ansible to manage Linux hosts and just recently had a requirement to manage Windows Servers.
I have Ansible working against a Windows 2012 R2 host using an account (test_user) that is part of the "administrators" group. I would like reduce the rights of test_user, so it is no longer in the "administrators" group, but can still connect and copy files to its own homedrive, and basically run commands that a user that is part of the "Users" group can. On removing the user Ansible provives the following error: fatal: [servername] => 401 Unauthorized. basic auth failed I did a bit of research and found the user needed to be part of the "Remote Management Users", this would allow test_user to run Powershell remotely. I tested this from another Windows host, and yes it works. PS> $options=New-PSSessionOption -SkipCACheck -SkipCNCheck PS> Enter-PSSession -ComputerName servername -Credential servername\test_user -UseSSL -SessionOption $options However via Ansible I get the following error: fatal: [servername] => failed to exec cmd PowerShell -NoProfile -NonInteractive -EncodedCommand... Does anyone know if it's possible to run Ansible against a Windows hosts with a non admin user?
