I'm simply wanting to create a playbook that will shutdown a windows 
computer. I've got my ansible server talking to my windows and can ping it, 
but my playbook gives the below error when trying to run. Any ideas?

Playbook:
---
- hosts: winhost

  tasks:
  - command: shutdown -f -s now




OUTPUT/ERRORS:
sudo ansible-playbook shutdownwindows.yml

PLAY [winhost]
