Hey
Windows unfortunately doesn't have the concept of sudo like unix so to be
able to run a process as another user you need to set the password as well
as the username. Going by the error message you need to set
'ansible_become_password' to the password of the account you are wanting to
run as. I haven't played around with runas unfortunately so I can't give
you any more info.
Another option if you really want to go the route is using the 'HKEY_USERS'
key. The entry for 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER' in 'HKEY_USERS' is located in this
key under the SID (S-*-*-*-*-*). So using the 'user' account as an example
I can use this command to get the SID of the Administrator account
$AdObj = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount('user')
$strSID = $AdObj.Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier])
$strSID.Value
It will return the value
S-1-5-21-2607664055-1112657780-300677247-500
So the 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER' when running as 'user' can also be accessed at
'HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2607664055-1112657780-300677247-500'.
Hope this helps in some way.
Thanks
Jordan
