Hi,
One last request; what's the best way to get the users confirmation before
continuing further with the playbook? I'd like to be able to say, "host1
has 6 updates available.
- KB: Update for Windows Server 2012 R2 (KB3013769)
- KB: Update for Windows Server 2012 R2 (KB3102429)
- KB: Update for Windows Server 2012 R2 (KB3013816)
- KB: Update for Windows Server 2012 R2 (KB3084905)
- KB: 2017-11 Preview of Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows Server 2012 R2
for x64-based Systems (KB4050946)
- KB: Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool for Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and
Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2, 2016 x64 Edition - November 2017 (KB890830)
"Do you wish to install all updates(y/n)?". If the user presses y, the
playbook will continue and complete the install + reboot. If the user
presses n, the playbook will exit.
I've tried prompts, var_prompts etc; none of which achieve what i'm looking
for.
Any advice?
Thank you
