Hi all.

As a beginner, one of the first playbooks I am developing is to copy a file 
from a network drive to the windows host.

[warken1@ansible-controller windows-projects]$ ansible --version
ansible 2.9.7
  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/home/warken1/.ansible/plugins/modules', 
'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ansible
  executable location = /usr/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.6.8 (default, Nov 21 2019, 19:31:34) [GCC 8.3.1 
20190507 (Red Hat 8.3.1-4)]


The playbook file_TU_copy.yml:

---

- name: Copying a file to Windows host
  gather_facts: no
  hosts: win
  tasks:
    - name: Copy TU.exe file
      win_copy:
        src: 'Z:\TU\TestUniverseLabel.png'
        remote_src: yes
        dest: 'C:\TU\TestUniverseLabel.png'

The error returning is this:

[warken1@ansible-controller windows-projects]$ ansible-playbook -i 
inventory file_TU_copy.yml

Some details about the "infrastructure" behind this :) Both ansible and 
windows hosts are VMs available in a VMware Workstation. I shared a host 
folder (this is the network drive), so the windows VM has access to it. I 
can copy, move, delete, etc files from inside the windows VM. Not sure if 
that is something to consider thou related to the ansible VM...

Any light over my brain is really appreciated for my next steps.
