Apart from updating the Server OS to 2008 R2 the only way I know how to get
the output of a batch script is to use win_shell while changing the active
code page. An example of running a valid and failing command can be found
- name: create test batch file
> win_copy:
> dest: C:\temp\test.bat
> content: |
> @echo OFF
> echo Hello World
>
- name: create bad batch file
> win_copy:
> dest: C:\temp\bad.bat
> content: |
> @echo OFF
> echo stdout
> echo stderr 1>&2
> exit 1
>
- name: run test batch file
> win_shell: chcp 437 | Out-Null; C:\temp\test.bat
>
- name: run bad test batch file
> win_shell: chcp 437 | Out-Null; C:\temp\bad.bat
The output looks like the below

In the example you can see that it runs both a good and bad batch file and
also get's the stdout and stderr streams. The reason why this works is that
win_shell creates a new powershell process and before we run the batch
script we change the codepage to 437 which is the US codepage so that we
can retrieve the output.
