I Just finished going through this and the documentation is pretty good. Definitely read through the links Dick sent. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/windows_winrm.html
I recommend reading the script it's from the Ansible site. This will get you a base set up for a lab to get you started. Long Term you will need to do a little more. One thing about CREDSSP is that if you are using it. Even with a certificate only the traffic is covered by the ssl the UserName and Password are sent as clear text. In the Security event log of your Windows Client you will see event ID 4624 with LogonTypeName set to 8 - NetworkClearText. $url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ansible/ansible/devel/examples/scripts/ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1"; $file = "$env:temp\ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1" (New-Object -TypeName System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile($url, $file) Unblock-File $env:Temp\ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1 cd $env:temp .\ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1 -Verbose -EnableCredSSP -DisableBasicAuth -SubjectName "ansible" -CertValidityDays $(365 *2) | out-null Mike On Tuesday, December 11, 2018 at 6:38:28 AM UTC-6, Tharindu Weerakoon wrote: > > Hi Dick, > > really i need to config windows 2016 machine as ansible client. i want to > config my ansible installed cent os machine to communicate win 2016 server. > i have seen there are have several ways to config.
