Hi Jordan, Assist me further as I am not able to find content relating to my problem.
I installed a virtualenv. Did: - - - Package Version - ------------- --------- - ansible 2.5.3 (/root/ansible-virtualenvs/ansible-virtualenv/bin/ansible) - asn1crypto 0.24.0 - bcrypt 3.1.4 - certifi 2018.4.16 - cffi 1.11.5 - chardet 3.0.4 - cryptography 2.2.2 - enum34 1.1.6 - idna 2.6 - ipaddress 1.0.22 - Jinja2 2.10 - MarkupSafe 1.0 - ntlm-auth 1.1.0 - paramiko 2.4.1 - pip 10.0.1 - pyasn1 0.4.3 - pycparser 2.18 - PyNaCl 1.2.1 - pywinrm 0.3.0 - PyYAML 3.12 - requests 2.18.4 - requests-ntlm 1.1.0 - setuptools 39.2.0 - six 1.11.0 - urllib3 1.22 - wheel 0.31.1 - xmltodict 0.11.0 Now what I am not able to understand is: 1. How should I try win_ping here? 2. Will it take my hosts file from etc/ansible/hosts? I tried following command: ansible all -m win_ping [WARNING]: * Failed to parse /etc/ansible/hosts with yaml plugin: Syntax Error while loading YAML. expected '<document start>', but found '<scalar>' The error appears to have been in '/etc/ansible/hosts': line 5, column 1, but may be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem. The offending line appears to be: #RobotWindowsSer ansible_host=10.7.7.199 VATCS028.ARITST.LCL ansible_host=10.12.12.28 ^ here [WARNING]: * Failed to parse /etc/ansible/hosts with ini plugin: /etc/ansible/hosts:14: Expected key=value, got: ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation: ignore [WARNING]: Unable to parse /etc/ansible/hosts as an inventory source [WARNING]: No inventory was parsed, only implicit localhost is available [WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available. Note that the implicit localhost does not match 'all' What is happening now?
