So ... you are getting connection refused. So winrm is connecting but
isn't happy with something.
Have a look in the event logs on the windows box to see if there is
anything appearing when you attempt to connect.
Actually I think its possible that the problem is your inventory file. I
suggest you remove the spaces in
ansible_user= voiceqa
ansible_password = abcdef
So they look like this:
ansible_user=voiceqa
ansible_password=abcdef
Give that a try and let us know how you get on.
