Paul, I did resolve it by using the following workaround:
First of all I searched for a Windows Service in the target host that was
not used (it was in the manual status) and in case it would be started,
then it should use a certain port for listening. With Ansible:
- I scheduled a Windows job that was "looking for the condition to fulfill"
on the target host. The job was running every couple of minutes. Once it
was so far, the scheduled job was going to start a windows service, which
was listening to a certain port. After the Windows service has started, the
scheduled job had finally to delete "itself" from the scheduled jobs on the
target host
- I was using this port number of the Windows service in the wait_for
My Ansible playbook had to reboot the target host anyway at the end. The
Windows service I "misused" for the "wait_for" was not running after the
reboot, so everything was "clean" again.
Hope it helps,
Stavros
