Hey all,
i've been using Ansibe with Linux for years, but now I have a need to use
it to build out some Windows boxes and I am running into some issues. So
far I am able to instal the AD-DS features and create my domain all
properly, but I am unable to create any groups in the new domain that I am
setting up. When I try I get the error:
TASK [Gathering Facts]
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [XX.XX.XX.XX]
TASK [ping test]
*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [XX.XX.XX.XX]
TASK [create the Mission domain group]
*******************************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [XX.XX.XX.XX]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "created": false,
"msg": "failed to retrieve initial details for group Mission: Unable to
contact the server. This may be because this server does not exist, it is
currently down, or it does not have the Active Directory Web Services
running."}
PLAY RECAP
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
XX.XX.XX.XX : ok=2 changed=0 unreachable=0
failed=1 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0
I can't figure out what is causing this issue. My reading of the
documentation only says
"This must be run on a host that has the ActiveDirectory powershell module
installed."
I have tested that this is the case by RDPing into the host and performing
an "Import-Module -Name ActiveDirectory" and the module does import.
The target is a windows 2016 server running in AWS, my Ansible workstation
is a Mac running Catalina with Ansible installed in a venv via PIP.
Appreciate the help!
Thanks
Craig
