Hi Jon
I tried creating the following playbook below, and running the following
command: ansible-playbook test_win.yml --check --diff
But I just got errors Not sure if this is what you were trying to explain
what I should do?
---
- name: Check host file diff
hosts: all
tasks:
- name: Check host file diff
win_copy:
src: /srv/hosts
dest: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
I am able to run the below powershell script through a playbook, and it
works, but it really doesn't help me as the Ansible does not give the
output of of any changes that the powershell script may have picked up.
Is there a way to get Ansible to show the powershell output of a script
that it runs?
Cheers
Mark
