A list of authentication options that are available to a Windows host through WinRM are shown here http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_windows.html#authentication-options. In short if you need to authenticate with a domain account Kerberos is recommended as it is the most secure but NTLM and CredSSP are other options if Kerberos isn't a choice in your environment for whatever reason.
Regardless of the auth option you will need to use an account that is a local administrator of your box due to the security requirements of WinRM. There are ways to allow a lower priviledged account access but that is quite complex and should be ignored until you first get a successful connection. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
