Its been a while and so there have probably been further updates to the Insider builds currently needed to run this, but I just tried this and managed to get ansible 2.1.0 installed via pip and able to win_ping a couple of windows boxes on my network.
To get to 2.1.0 I did the following sudo pip install ansible (got me 1.5.4) sudo pip install ansible --upgrade This failed first time as it couldn't find python.h so I guessed I needed the python development package which I got via sudo apt-get install python-dev then I re-ran sudo pip install ansible --upgrade said ok but ansible didn't run, so I ran sudo pip uninstall ansible and sudo pip install ansible --upgrade That got me a version of 2.1.0 than I could run ansible localhost -m ping successfully. Then I ran sudo pip install pywinrm set up my inventory and group_vars and then I was able to ansible windows -m win_ping to talk to my windows hosts. If you are thinking of trying this right now you need to sign up for insider program (requires a microsoft login of some description) be running 64 bit windows 10 (not sure if Enterprise edition is required, but that's what I wound up using). in advanced windows update settings, enable insider builds and slide the slider to 'Fast' wait for and grind through a lot of windows updates (for some reason I had to wait a couple of days to get the right update versions). Go into windows features and enable Windows Subsystem for Linux (Beta) Go through another reboot start a dos box and type bash wait while lots of stuff downloads Hopefully not long till this gets into a released windows 10 build.
